Hmm. If you link to a sound-file with {{Image:}} (or

be a link to the sound, and the overall manner of links would make more
sense.
Sorry, I don't follow what you're saying here - are you saying that
"transcluding a sound" *is* the same as displaying a specially
formatted set of links/player, or that it isn't? Like I say, I can see
how "transcluding an image" could mean displaying it inline, but I'm
not sure that "transcluding a sound" is really a meaningful concept.
At the moment, you can transclude the *description page*, but I don't
think anyone would really miss that ability.
Don't get me wrong, I can see the argument for having a different
syntax for "display inline" than for "link to", I'm just not 100%
convinced that this is logically the same as "transclude from".
