Yes, there's a way.

W3C recommend us to use type="MIME" to call a media object.
It works well on Mozilla, Firefox, Opera and etc.

However, there's bug when we use IE to view it: It will download the whole file then play it. So you must wait for long before you could see the rest of the page.(You can even find that it sometimes display a blank object, it's another bug I think.)

So, to IE,
I use the traditional way to display it: just use the clsid.

Therefore,
It could be display perfectly on IE and other explorers.

So, if u don't care the bug,
just do as this:

edit the anymedia template

take adobe flash as example:

replace these codes

		<object data="$media[url]" type="$media[mime]" width="$media[width]" height="$media[height]" class="player_mozilla">
		  <param name="play" value="$media[autoplay]" />
		  <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
		  <param name="quality" value="high" />
		</object>
		<!--[if IE]>
		<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="$media[width]" height="$media[height]">
		  <param name="movie" value="$media[url]" />
		  <param name="play" value="$media[autoplay]" />
		  <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
		  <param name="quality" value="high" />
		</object>
		<![endif]-->

To

		<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="$media[width]" height="$media[height]">
		  <param name="movie" value="$media[url]" />
		  <param name="play" value="$media[autoplay]" />
		  <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
		  <param name="quality" value="high" />
		</object>

and replace these codes

<style type="text/css">
.player_mozilla{display:block;}
</style>
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
.player_mozilla{display:none;}
</style>
<![endif]-->

To

<style type="text/css">
.player_mozilla{display:block;}
</style>
