There's a new version of gwt-voices ready for download<http://code.google.com/p/gwt-voices/wiki/GettingStarted>. I'd love to get your feedback on this release, so I can remove the * ReleaseCandidate* tag and replace it with a shiny new *Featured* tag.
Why would you want to use GWT <http://code.google.com/p/forplay/> to play sounds you ask? Well, you might need sound effects when slinging birds through the air <http://chrome.angrybirds.com/>. It's been a while, so the release notes<http://code.google.com/p/gwt-voices/wiki/ReleaseNotes>have a bit more to say than usual: ------------------------------ What's new in gwt-voices-2.1.0.jar - Bug fixes - Prevent NullPointerException in non-HTML5 browsers - Catch and ignore setCurrentTime(0) exceptions on IE9 - Fixed volume/balance/panning during Flash playback - Prevent data: URIs from trying to use Flash, which doesn't like them - Restore MIDI playback. Thanks ornello! - Workaround Chrome's inability to play the same audio twice: issues 71323 <http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=71323> and 75725 <http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=75725> - Restore support for Flash MP3 playback in IE (was broken in gwt-voices 2.0.0) - New in this release - Add ability to loop sounds via Sound#setLooping(boolean) - Sound#play() now returns a boolean to indicate whether gwt-voices believes it was able to play the sound; it returns false when the sound system is unavailable or has run out of available channels - Flash plugin triggers also with audio/mpeg; codecs=MP3, not just audio/mpeg - For the time being, prefer Flash over HTML5 audio for audio/mpeg and audio/mpeg; codecs=MP3 MIME Types, due to poor HTML5 audio reliability - Require at least Flash 9 (previously 8) to trigger Flash playback - Added ie9 user.agent property support for GWT 2.3 to avoid those pesky warnings - Added HTML5 favicon to demo site - HTML5 playback provides PlaybackCompleteEvents (requires GWT 2.4 and later) - You can set an optional URL parameter gwt-voices to either html5 or flash, to indicate a runtime preference for MP3 files, which is overridden by SoundController#setPreferredSoundType() - New (deprecated) SoundController?<http://code.google.com/p/gwt-voices/w/edit/SoundController>#getPreferredSoundType(), which may be removed without warning in a future release - Other changes in this release - Using AS3 with mxmlc instead of AS2 with mtasc compiler - For compatibility testing, demo shows both HTML5 and Flash for audio/mpeg MIME types - Now require Java 1.6 Enjoy -- Fred Sauer Developer Advocate Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 fre...@google.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
