There are controls available without using javascript. Just add the 'controls' attribute to the audio or video tag. The scriptable elements just allow you to create custom controls that can have further actions, or look and behave slightly differently. The controls and appearance of them is dependant on the browser and platform in use, but generally there are the basic play/pause, stop, forward & backward buttons, a seek bar and a volume control.
