I am under the impression that in fact if you do:

  <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="foo.swf" ...>
  <param name="movie" value="foo.swf">
  ...
  </object>

That the browser support is just the same as if you were to use
<embed>. Am I wrong?

(It may not support streaming in some browsers, but you can use the
intermediate-file hack to get around that.)
