How the markup works

<audio controls preload="none">
  <source src="two-tones.wav" type="audio/wav">
  <a href="two-tones.wav">Download the two-tone WAV example</a>.
</audio>

controls asks the browser to provide native play, pause, and volume controls. preload="none" asks it not to preload the media; the browser may apply its own loading policy. The source identifies the file and media type. There is no autoplay. A transcript for real speech would reproduce the spoken meaning and relevant sounds. This small example is not a substitute for a captioned video lesson.
