George beat me to it re the explanation about starting the player in a new =
window and if it it does the trick then fine. I do think that you should s=
till drop him a message about the music however, the site spouts quite a lo=
t about accessibility but it may not have occurred to the designer that som=
eone using a screen reader can't hear the speech because of the music.
Cheers

link is
