Non-flv embeds (m4a, mp3, ...) play in your browser by WMP because it is the associated plugin/handler or those non-flv filetypes. My GNU/Linux plays them with Mplayer, and Mac surely has a native player of its own. We all share common codecs to those non-flv embeds (i.e. mp3 codec, ...), each his own. Bottom line: properly configured Mac (with all the codecs and a player) will use its player to play all your non-flv embeds.
Flv embeds are handled by Adobe.
