[Tex/LaTex] How to include audio file in PDF

audioincludepdf

How do I include audio file, or should I say, link to audio file in PDF?

  1. Audio should be playable "from
    PDF directly", without opening
    any additional window.
  2. Is it possible to attach audios to PDF
    then so I can manipulate only with
    that file, without being bothered
    with copying folders where those
    audio files would reside?

I saw that 1. is definitely doable (but don't know how) and I'm interested if second one is also possible (while compiling .tex file) since I know that some files (like graphs and tables) can be attached in PDF, but after it's generated.

The now obsolete movie15 package used to be a good choice. This package has been superseded by the media9 package. The manuals provide a variety of examples.
