On occasion members upload their own playing on our site by means of some type of audio file. Most often MP3's
Previously we were able to make choices as to the player, autoplay and sizing of the player but that capability doesn't show any longer. Here is an example of a post that starts to play automatically even though the value is set for false.

<param name="autoplay" value="false" />

Also, I had to manually set the hight at 16 instead of 800 since it is only an audio file. I would like audio files being played using quicktime player to be set automatically at 16 instead of like a video. Visit the below link to see how it plays automatically. At least for me it does.

Good point on the size deal for audio files. I am guessing but it is probably taking on the size set in forum admin >File Uploader - Settings > Media Files width/problem-with-post-edit-buttoneight.

Also makes me wonder if there should be an alternative setting for showing uploads in posts (images & media) and maybe one option for images, one for audio and one for video.

In regards to the autoplay I believe that is an issue with WP itself.  If you embed the same audio file in a WP post with the same autoplay = false param it still auto starts there too.
