Description:
There are many use cases on English Wikipedia where an audio playback link is desired in the middle of a paragraph. For example, see the pronunciation link at the top of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein . Most uses of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Audio are of this type.
In these cases the use of a block element around the player activation link is not acceptable and the minimum usable size of the player is too great.
I think the ideal behavior would be to add a keyword to the image tag to make the player appear as a small "PLAY" icon like the speaker icon currently added via CSS. launcheronly perhaps? :) When the icon is clicked it should insert the player at reasonable size (perhaps the size provided in the image tag) ideally as an inline element rather than a block element to avoid messing up layout.
