You can embed multimedia files into a Confluence page as as easily as you can an image. Confluence supports these formats:
You can use other types of files, but you may need to specify the 'classid', 'codebase' and 'pluginspage' properties so that your web browser can recognise the file type, as described below.
On this page: Basic UsageAttach the file to the page. You can then include it as you would include an image, like this: !filename.mov! Specifying File Type and Other PropertiesDefine the properties of the embedded object using a comma-separated list of properties. For example: !filename.mov|height=800,width=600,id=media! If the file does not have a meaningful extension, specify the mime type like this: !filename|type=image/jpeg! To play .avi files, you need to specify the dimensions and type. For example, to play a test.avi file: !test.avi|height=200,width=200,id=media!

Given that they have an IE browser plugin viewer, I bet this could work pretty well. Imagine building a mindmap of links into your Confluence wiki space as an alternative means of navigation? (?) Sounds pretty cool to me.

Gliffy is really nice for simple diagrams, but visio it is not.
Mindmanager and any other mindmap maps are an incredibly useful for giving a visual sense of what's going on for a complex project. I see them as a perfect complement to confluence, as visual indexes or table of contents to a section of pages, or to an entire space.

I recently faced this problem myself: How to embed my mindmanager mindmaps inside my personal wiki. I created a service that will dynamically convert the map to freemind format, and allow you to embed as either a flash viewer or java applet.

It doesn't resolve to the proper link for the codebase (although the blah.vsd is fine). But if I use the full http:// to the viewer, Confluence converts it into an href in the rendered page.

Additionally, an mp3 file embedded in my local instance are played via the Quicktime player. Right clicking on the player enable you to choose the option "Plug-in Settings".

You might want to give a try with the configuration suggested there if your Confluence's page is using Quicktime player too.
