I mean what are the ways to have embedded audio work on iPad Safari. I know HTML5  element can be used on iPad Safari..But are there any other ways to embed audio in iPad Safari?

A:

I'd use the HTML5 audio tag if you're playing mp3's as it's future proofed and the support is rapidly growing. That'll cover all your iDevice requirements and most other mobile platforms and the latest / future deskstop browsers. I'd then use Flash as the fall back for older desktop browsers as nearly everyone has it installed and it works well.
HTML5Rocks gives a good example of how to do this: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/audio/quick/
