[SWFObject] IE streaming audio does not auto play

[Geoff Stearns]

hmm, well i'm stumped i think... i can't think of any reason why that  
would happen, other than maybe some issue with IE and using  
javascript to embed the swf...

if anyone else can think of some tests to run, or maybe a workaround  
that would be cool :)
