I need to create an event that starts if the page is making any sound, or if there is a file playing on it.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

There are multiple way for your page to play a sound — mostly via
<object>, <embed>(though you can do it in an<applet>too!). Trouble is each one of these embeds a plugin in the page and each plugin has different parameters, and they are specific for each provider. And there is a multitude of them… And sound formats… so you could write a script that iterates through all these tags and finds all the parameters for them and try to figure out if this is a QuickTime plugin, or a real player, or windows media etc etc etc — point being it will be a horrible function and it will still not cover all the cases. So I guess NO should be the short answer.
