 * Hi,
    I like this plugin for Soundcloud files. I am trying to validate it. I am
   stuck with 1 last error: `& did not start a character reference. (& probably 
   should have been escaped as &.)` I looked in the soundcloud-shortcode.php, but
   I can’t seem to find where to change that & to & If somebody can help?

 * I decided to use the iframe code, because that doesn’t give any error as long
   as you remove the scrolling and frameborder.
