How can I embed windows media player without the visualizations

Question

I enjoyed the late 90s just as much as the last guy, but I'd like to be able to play an audio file on a web page without having to look at the cheesy geometric visualizations that wmp shows. Is there a good way of doing this? Here's my code:

<object classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">
    <param name="url" value="file.wav" />
    <param name="autoStart" value="True" />
    <embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="file.wav" name="MediaPlayer">
    </embed>
</object>

One temporary solution I've found is to set the height parameter to 45, which ends up showing just the controls at the bottom. As soon as Microsoft decides to change their layout though, this won't look right. Argh!
