Keep in mind that music clips are limited to 30 seconds and as of
right now, you can't stop playing them. They just stop when they have
finished.
That being said, you should be able to make it happen on init when the
app loads using JavaScript.
something like
var init = function() {
Device.init();
Device.PlaySound('some.wav');
}
..
<body onload="init();">...</body>
Good Luck

The only thing that I can think of is that you might need a little bit
of a delay before you can start playing any sounds to give the page
time to load, and for the phonegap to become fully initialized.
