<embed> sound in XHTML?

I'm in the process of converting some HTML text to XHTML, I'm stuck on some
<embed> sound files. The W3C's validator complains that there is no <embed>
tag in XHTML.

What do I need to do to retain embedded sounds (fired by Javascript) in my
page, and still validate to xhtml:transitional?

Thanks!

.... nor HTML for that matter.

The correct way to include generic media files is with the object element.
