This template enhances the regular audio embed with automatic fallback using multiple <source> elements, no preloading for faster load times, and no download option. Uses HTML5AudioPlayer.
To use, replace any regular audio embed with this template. For example, [[File:Elevator Jam.ogg]] can be replaced with {{Audio|. When played, it tries to play File:Elevator Jam.ogg, falling back to File:Elevator Jam.ogg.mp3 if OGG files cannot be played in the current browser.
