You can use HTML 5 audio via data URL's to generate sound and play it - 
although it's a bit of a pain doing it this way. There is work being 
done on working out an HTML audio generation API. See here for some 
discussion:

If you generate the audio on the server and serve it as a WAV file then 
you can use HTML 5 audio to play it on recent Chrome, Safari, Opera and 
Firefox builds (I think all those support WAV).
