For uploaded non-image media (usually .ogg at the moment), how about an additional, automatically generated link like
<a href="#" onClick="self.location='foobar.ogg';return false">Play</a>
For our current link, I always get the open/save dialog, which *can* be great to store the file. But to listen to, e.g., a pronounciation ogg, quick'n'dirty in-browser playing would be nice too.
And, no disadvantages for the tin foil hat^W^W^W^W our JavaScript-disabeled friends :-)

To answer myself, maybe one of the nice methods from here:

Hm, interesting. I've added that to my musings on what could be done to better "integrate" sounds at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Multimedia#Software_features
One big advantage of having proper sound markup would be to force people to finally agree on one way of presenting it, rather than the proliferation of help pages that keep springing up, and the strange ways of linking to them...

Is your browser misconfigured? The above should be equivalent to a normal <a href> link except for being useless when JavaScript is disabled, for right-click save, for opening in new window, or anything else that normal people might want to do.
If it is behaving differently, file a bug report with your browser's developer.
