Just wanted to make a quick comment: At ~10:34 Audio is being discussed, and it was said that you have to add a sound tag to the DOM in order to play audio. You can actually do it both ways as Ian was asking about.
As Seb mentioned, you can use document.createElement to create an audio element and then interface with the object only though JavaScript — it never needs to be added to the page.
Love the podcast!
Lol wow, I didnt think a CSS topic could be so good, but I loved this episode especially the “I needed some media so I started a band” and the IE and webGL comments.
A good site to see what browsers can and can’t do right now is:

It may have got mentioned and I missed it, but prefix free is a good javascript library for dealing with vendor prefixes:

Hyperbole and a Half has that annoying mobile page swipe feature you were talking about, it makes me crazy.
