I would like to include an easter egg link to youtube, that would start the video with no sound, is it possible?

Something like

href= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxxx&volume=0

to prevent sound for people who would click accidentaly

EDIT: workaround, quite to my liking - linking to:

http://www.youtube.com/video_is_aloud/watch?v=Pk-bwlLbCUU

i.e. the viewer is expected to correct the address (start playing) himself

You don't have that option available as parameter on YouTube. Take a look at the available parameters here :
