Stopping a sound file from playing using just HTML?

    Is there a way to stop a sound file from playing using just HTML?

    For example, let's say that I have a "play" button that starts playing an audio stream (Play.gif), and am using this code to do it...

    <A HREF="http://www.MyWebsite.com/MyAudioStream.m3u"><IMG SRC="Play.gif"></A>

    So if I wanted to stop the file from playing (by using a "stop" button), how would I do it?

    I know this is possible using Javascript or Flash but is there any way to do it with just HTML?

    Thanks!

    the code links to an m3u playlist which starts a mediaplayer like winamp. after that its not possible to control anything outside the website, unless its hacking in high level

    I think you should try



    <body>
    <embed autostart=true hidden=false src=song_name.mp3 loop=true VOLUME="0" HEIGHT="50" WIDTH="400">
    </body>

    embedding it would create a little mini media player on the page with the start and stop buttons if im not mistaken. along with pause.
