If the sound file is very short, you could include the transcript in the alt-text of an image that accompanies the link to the sound file, e.g.

Sound file: Let's work together for accessibility. Listen to a message from the author.

<A HREF="work-e.wav">
<IMG SRC="audio.gif" ALT="Sound file: Let's work together for accessibility. ">
Listen to a message from the author. </A>

If the audio file contains lots of information, then you might want to link to a file that contains a complete transcript:

Let's listen to an excerpt from "The Walrus and the Carpenter," by Lewis Carroll.

Audio transcript: Excerpt from "The Walrus and the Carpenter," by Lewis Carroll.

Man:
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes-- and ships-- and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages-- and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
