There is a fairly standard list of free viewers which are available to anyone with a Mosaic or Netscape client. However, this is an area where you should know what kind of viewers your intended audience is likely to have.
Audio and video are available through anchors.

Or simply put an audio icon to indicate an audio file.

Since people have a wide variation in how fast their network is, it is a nice style to warn people if an image, audio, or video is likely to be large enough to cause some people to have too slow a download time. The download time is roughly equivalent to the size of the file, so these objects often have sizes posted.
