audio/video in mobi?

hi there,
I know that there have been different threads with the topic audio/video, but now the things getting real and I need some help.

we delivered a epub with audio to a customer two years agog and now the tell us that they would like to deliver it to amazon.
As I understand they deliver it via bookwire. bookwire has send them an error message from amazon:

"the audio has not been embedded according to our specifications..."

Please embed the audio according to that scheme:

Code:
<audio src="name.mp3" controls="true"  tabindex="0">
        <p class="Audio2" style="padding-left: 55px; width: 200px">
Your device does not support audio...
        </p>
    </audio>
Please see: AmazonKindlePublishingGuidelines.pdf

Now I tried the following:
- I changed the html-code to match it to amazons code.
- I moved the audio-files to a folder /audiovideo/
The epubs is fine and has no errors.

- I dropped it to the newest version of kindlepreviewer.
- I copied the resulting mobi to our Kindle Fire HD

Of course it did not work. I see the dummy-text: Your device does not support audio...

Did anyone ever produce a mobi with a working audio or video?

I even downloaded a preview book from Amazon with embedded video to our kinlde fire hd. But it does not play and says something like: cannot play...
