You could link to the page of that Norwegian uni (I always
forget the address, but you certainly know which one) that
explains all those IPA letters with sound files. Linking to
the sound files themselves might be bandwidth theft. Or, you
could record your own sound files of course. Make them as
short as possible and as long as necessary and use only
22kHz, not 44kHz and compress the mp3's to 64k mono or so,
your files should get quite small then.
