I suggest using Modernizer for feature detection, but if this is not suitable for your case you can test either User Agent (each one supports different audio/video formats) or test for mpeg support (for audio) with this JS code:

function isMpegSupported(){
   var elem = document.createElement('audio');
   return !!(elem.canPlayType && elem.canPlayType('audio/mpeg;') !== '');
}

(Code inspired by this question)

I also suggest reading about the method canPlayType and about feature detection, this is a good place to start (also has great info about video format feature detection)
