I have a client that wants audio to play while the user is browsing the website. Besides the fact that audio is annoying when it starts automatically and plays when you are browsing, I thought of the following technical struggles.
Having to use frames to allow audio to play uninterrupted. SEO issues with using frames
Having to use ajax to allow audio to play uninterrupted. SEO issues with all ajax site
Pop-up to allow audio to play in another window JS pop-up blockers won't allow this
Does anyone else have other technical hurdles that I can use in my defense?

It must make an action obvious or send a clear message. Make sure you associate the sound with an action that requires the attention of your user. Avoid using sounds for general interactions while the user is navigating your website or app. For instance, you don't need to have a sound every time they click on a link.
Unless your business is selling music or music services having background music play on your website makes it seem unprofessional. This lowers your sites credibility and you will lose your users. People that are on your site are most likely looking for information they are not there to listen to music.
Music on your website is a terrible idea
