Problem playing an embedded sound

[OBAFGKM_RNS]

I am not an expert in javascript, so forgive me if all this sounds
dumb.
On my webpage, I have slot machine. I want to hear a click sound when
the wheels stop spinning. Heres how i can SORT OF do it:

in my javascript:
var sound = document.getElementById("wl1_click");sound.Play();

and in my html:
<embed id="wl1_click" src="clickb.wav" width="0" height="0"
autostart="false" />

and here are the problems:
1. If i use hidden="true", the sound won't play in either Firefox
or IE. Without that line, it plays.
2. Even setting the width and height to "0", still shows an
annoying tiny image in Internet Explorer, and creates a big extra
space. Hidden="true" would solve that problem, but hidden="true"
prevents the sound from playing for me.
3. Also in IE, an annoying tag pops up saying "press SPACEBAR or
ENTER to activate and use this control."

I'm probably doing something wrong, so if anyone could help, it would
be much appreciated. Thanks.

I kind of rigged up a solution to these problems by doing this:
<div style="position: absolute; z-index:
-1;left:-10000;top:-10000;"><embed id="wl1_click" src="clickb.wav"
width="0" height="0" autostart="false" ></div>

Now the 1 pixel media player with the accompanying space and "press
SPACEBAR..." messagebox are out of view.
