Description
When I click the "(play audio CAPTCHA)" link in Chrome, I just get a white area when the audio player should be. Chrome Version: 2.0.172.33
When I click the "(play audio CAPTCHA)" link in FireFox, I just get a box with a blue lego icon. When I click it, it does a plugin search and tells me "No suitable plugins were found. Unknown Plugin (audio/mp3)." FireFox Version: 3.0.11

You must need to install some kind of mp3-handling plugin like Quicktime or Windows Media Player. It works just fine for me on both the latest Chrome and Firefox 3.5 on Vista for me.

I'm getting this also - I'm running Firefox 3 and IE 8 on Windows XP Professional 64bit. I have Windows Media Player set up as the default player for MP3. Firefox displays the blue box and goes off to the plugin finder (and it can't find any). IE doesn't do anything other than change the link. No audio is ever heard.

We're also having mollom audio issues.
When I try it in Safari 4 I get an error:
Safari can't find the Internet plug-in.
Some content on the page "Page" can't be shown because it's MIME type is unspecified.
We've had user reports of similar issues in Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 8.
