title: Play HTML audio in Internet Explorer?
body: <p>I have this html and js which I'm using to play some audio:</p>
  
  <p>HTML</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="audio-clips"&gt;
      &lt;audio src="/audio/cha-ching.wav" type="audio/wav" id="audio-cha-ching"&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>JavaScript</p>
  
  <pre><code>var sfx = $("#audio-clips #audio-cha-ching")[0];
  sfx.play();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is failing in IE 8, due to it not recognising the "play" method.  Is there a jQuery audio-playing method which works cross-browser, with the same code?  I'd rather do that then try to fall back to some IE-specific solution (as browser-specific solutions are always brittle).</p>
