EMBED

Some stuff culled from Altavista:



http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/tn4150.html

gives


<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
  codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=3,0,8,0" 
  width=100 height=80> 
   <PARAM name="Movie" value="moviename.swf"> 
   <EMBED src="moviename.swf" width=100 height=80
     pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"> 
   </EMBED>
   <NOEMBED> 
     <IMG src="moviename.gif" width=100 height=80> 
   </NOEMBED> 
</OBJECT>

As their (not even a little bit accessible) example of how to embed a
shockwave or flash object.

http://www.world-voices.com/resources/addaud.html

gives a number of examples like

  <EMBED src="file.wav" autostart=true loop=false volume=100 hidden=true>
    <NOEMBED><BGSOUND src="file.wav"></NOEMBED>

  <EMBED src="file.mid" autostart=true loop=false volume=30 hidden=true>
    <NOEMBED><BGSOUND src="file.mid"></NOEMBED>

It seems that EMBED can be used as an empty element or not. I haven't seen
anyone talking about ALT for it, but I haven't seen any examples which
attempted to provide accessible content anyway, so it doesn't really prove
much - sigh.

Compares how EMBED is implemented (and with what attributes) in NN and IE
