trache seems to be having url issues; the correct link for that article is here.

The non-technical answer is that yes you can do it, so long as you can look at a block of HTML and not totally space out. I won't bother walking through the process, but basically all you have to do is add an argument in two spots in the embed code (which you can copy and paste off the video page). Personally though, I think you'd do better just to embed the video and let people start it themselves; I hate autoplayed media with a passion.

Also, if it's just the music and not the video you want, have you considered using seeqpod instead? Consider this:

<embed src="http://www.seeqpod.com/cache/seeqpodSlimlineEmbed.swf" wmode="transparent" width="300" height="80" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="playlistXMLPath=http://www.seeqpod.com/api/music/getPlaylist?playlist_id=c21cf512ec"></embed>

Much more streamlined and uses up less bandwidth.
