I don't have any sounds on web pages. As a user, I don't really care for 
web
pages that try to start sounds, because depending on someone's system
configuration, they may not work right (and in some cases, may cause 
things like
browser crashing, etc). I much prefer downloading the files manually. But 
hey,
I've been called "old school". I don't care if my web browsing looks like a
multimedia show, in fact, most of the time I prefer it didn't.

Beyond that, as someone who is contained behind a fairly restrictive 
corporate
firewall much of the time, anything that requires streaming, or a file 
format
other then mp3 is difficult for me to use.
