does that just make it look constantly or only when touched? Also what file format does the audio have to be and are there any size restrictions?

To make it fire on the touch event, change to code in the example to this:

CODE
 
default
{
    touch_start (integer total_number)
    {
         llPlaySound("some_sound",1.0);
    }
}


You need to upload the sound clip to your inventory and then to the scripted prim's contents, alongside the script itself, or you may copy the asset UUID from the sound clip in your inventory and use that in the script without having to copy the clip itself.

If memory serves, the clip must be a 44.1kHz WAV file, no longer than 10 seconds.
