I posted a link into comp.os.linux.advocacy. I hope you don't mind.
You have a fan already though. He said... "What a cool Web page. I've
never seen one like that before. Just
press page-down to get to the next point. And you don't need
proprietory crapware (PowerPoint) to see the presentation."
Well done on taking a stand against IE's anti-webstandards stance. My
moonlife-records.com site also uses .png transparency which means the
menu buttons have a white background which is a shame.
Well done to you too. That is, if the moonlife-records site mission is to
chase IE users away.
I wanted to check out what was happening with the .png transparency and
began wondering why the page was taking so long to load. (>20 seconds via a
4.4 megabits per second cable connection) So naturally I hit stop and
peeked at the source. ACK!

And then I left. Not only was it taking forever to load, but _I'll_ decide
what comes out of my speakers, not you, thanks.
I thought attempting to force sound on a visitor was generally acknowledged
as being a design no-no. No?
Given the latest browser usage stats, I'm not even going to argue the merits
(if any) of, "taking a stand against IE's anti-webstandards stance" other
than to say it would seem akin to cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Though in fairness I'll say this. I hit the page again with Firefox and it
loaded in <4 seconds. Without the sound, of course.
