Thread:Project:Support desk/Template:Listen - Is There an Alternative to TimedMediaHandler?

Is there an alternative to TimedMediaHandler to get the Listen box to embed and play a sound file? I have wasted nearly three days going in circles trying to get TimedMediaHandler to work. The extension does not come with all required pieces to function properly. Despite all my searching and questions in numerous forums and chat sessions, I am at a loss on how to get Pear installed and configured properly to make TimedMediaHandler work.

I simply want to be able to add the option to play a sound file from within the Listen box on a Wiki page. That's it. Can someone please provide a simpler alternative to the matrix of problems I've been presented with TimedMediaHandler? I have tried a couple different media players and have gotten them to appear on the page and play the sound file, but none seem to be able to be included inside the Listen box which is ultimately what I need to happen.

Thank you.
