<audio autoplay id="bgsound">
<source src="http://media.w3.org/2010/07/bunny/04-Death_Becomes_Fur.mp4"
type="audio/mp4">
<source src="http://media.w3.org/2010/07/bunny/04-Death_Becomes_Fur.oga"
type="audio/ogg; codecs=vorbis">

<button type="button"
onclick="document.getElementById('bgsound').pause();">
Stop background sound
</button>
