Thank you for the quick answer. When I moved forward with pure GWT based approach I found that Audio object works on Chrome but not on Firefox (3.6.13). Am I doing something wrong or it is some limitations? Below the code. I made audio controls visible and actually see them on Chrome as well as hear the sound but the same code doesn't show any audio player on Firefox. I tested only in development mode. Here is the code com.google.gwt.media.client.Audio audio = com.google.gwt.media.client.Audio.createIfSupported(); if(audio != null) { com.google.gwt.dom.client.AudioElement audioEl = audio.getAudioElement(); audioEl.setAutoplay(true); audioEl.setSrc(fullURL); audioEl.setAutoplay(true); audioEl.setControls(true); audioEl.setLoop(false); audioEl.setVolume(1.0); RootPanel.get().add(audio); } else { //no HTML5 audio support }
