What are the supported formats for embedding audio in HTML5?

I recently read that HTML 5 comes with a standard way of embedding audio files. I need to use this feature but I don't know which are the supported files.

<audio controls>
<source src="track.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>

Only mpeg ?

Thanks

The tag is supported in Internet Explorer 9+, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Safari.

Note: Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions, do not support the tag. The tag defines sound, such as music or other audio streams.

Currently, there are 3 supported file formats for the element: MP3, Wav, and Ogg:

Browser MP3 Wav Ogg
IE      YES NO  NO
Chrome  YES YES YES
Firefox NO  YES YES
Safari  YES YES NO
Opera   NO  YES YES

Update: Firefox 21 running on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista, and Android now supports MP3.

The supported formats are MP3, WAV and Ogg. You'll need to include at least two of these if you want to support all the major browsers.
