As other posters have already pointed out, sound playback is an ePub3 feature that very few readers and apps support, and Sigil is an ePub2 editor with limited embedded media support.
As for the playback controls, AFAIK, they don't need to be explicitly defined.
Sigil playback controls support appears to be OS-dependent:
Windows: The official Windows Sigil 0.8.5 release automatically displays
disabled playback controls.
Linux: DiapDealer's unofficial Sigil Linux 0.8.5 release automatically displays
working playback controls.
OSX: Sigil audio/video playback works, according to KevinH.
(The test file is a valid ePub3 file that works with iBooks, Gitden Reader, ADE 4 and Readium.)
Here's the HTML code:
