I need to play few wav files on button click. I found solution working in IE but it requires QickTime plugin for Firefox.
Is there any other way?
<html>
<head>
<script>
function DHTMLSound(surl) {
document.getElementById("dummyspan").innerHTML=
"<embed src='"+surl+"' hidden=true autostart=true loop=false>";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>test</h1>
<span id=dummyspan></span>
<input type="button" value="Play" onmouseover="DHTMLSound('1.wav')">
</body>
</html>

Use one of these. I have only use jPlayer and can strongly recommend it.
jPlayer (requires Flash)
Scriptaculous plugin (works without Flash in Firefox)
MooTools (requires Flash)

I'd detect whether the browser allows the audio tag, and use that in that case.
That looks like this:
<audio src="1.wav" autoplay></audio>
Currently Firefox, Safari and Opera can play Wavs, Chrome as of version 3 can't, not sure about 4.
See http://html5doctor.com/native-audio-in-the-browser/ for info on how to detect whether the browser has the audio tag.
You'd then use your existing solution for IE.
