Answer 1

I know it's a bit late, but did you have a look at VLC ?

It can be embedded in a website, runs on Windows, Mac OS & Linux, is free, open source, supports a lot of video/audio format...

The drawback is that it doesn't have a nice GUI with play/pause/set volume/ ... functions , you have to create them yourself.
