I get the same thing with my cable provider's online digital music service, the progress bar shows it playing but no sound. It appears to be designed for Microsoft's Media Player and I'm assuming there is some kind of DRM issue preventing it from working properly on the tablet.

In case it helps anyone else in determining the problem, here's the embed code from my provider's site:

Code:

		  	<EMBED type='application/x-mplayer2'
				pluginspage='http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/'
				id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' displaysize='4' autosize='-1'
				bgcolor='white' showcontrols="true" showtracker='-1' volume='50'
				showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='false' videoborder3d='-1' width="320" height="25"
				src="http://music.shaw.ca/player/playlist.wma?channel=57"
				autostart="true" designtimesp='5311' loop="false">
		  	</EMBED>

p.s. I get the same bad behaviour in FireFox on my Vista machine. It only works from IE.

p.p.s. Hmmm... now it is working in FF. Not sure if it had anything to do with my switching to IE and back just now...

Here's the system requirements from my provider:
# Microsoft Windows® 98 (Second Edition) or higher. Mac computers with Javascript enabled and Mac OS X version 10.1.5 or later (version 10.2 recommended).
# Windows Media Player 9 or greater: The computer must meet the minimum system requirements of Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 or greater, which must be installed. You can download the Windows Media Player at www.microsoft.com.
* Windows XP users need to utilize version 10. For more info, please check:
