Hello anantmk,
You don’t have to specify which plug-in to load, etc. All you have to do is link to it like you would any other URL. For example, the following link will launch the Windows Media Player or another capable program for playing the media file:
www.kirupa.com/media/OmegaMan.wma

You would only use the plug-in or embed commands when you want the media file to be displayed in your browser itself. Otherwise, it is best to keep the media file linked as a URL.
