I am helping my friends band put there web page together they want to use a
few short video and sound clips but there web host won't allow streaming
video. Any thoughts about this?

Put the files on the server and link to them in the normal way:

However be aware that the reason your host doesn't handle streaming is
due to the rather large size of most video files.

Your web host has no control over this, use redirector files to initiate
streaming:

Will download and (user's choice) play the video using the application
most suited to it on the user's machine (if any, if not it was never
going to work anyway). Depending on the application and the format,
it might be able to start playing before the download is complete.
