Are there any updates on this (that is, regarding sound integration into
Qooxdoo)? I started looking into sound integration (more like sound effects
than music reproduction) and I was quickly annoyed by the lack of
interoperability among browsers:
 * IE (apparently) still supports the BGSOUND element - opening a sound (Wav
file) directly seems to trigger a download prompt;
 * Firefox 3.0.x plays sounds directly if there's a Quick Time plug-in
locally available;
 * Firefox 3.2 (currently alpha) plays sounds natively (might have to do
with HTML5-related improvements);
 * Safari 3.2.x plays sounds directly if there's a Quick Time plug-in
locally available;
 * Opera 9.6x and 10 (currently alpha) play sounds natively;

I also played a bit with Scriptaculous sound [1], which seemed to do the
trick in Firefox, although apparently internally using Flash, something
which doesn't sound that well, at least to me... :-|

I can try to marsh up some utility class/methods for this, but I was really
trying to re-invent the wheel here, specially given the lack of
interoperable behavior between browsers. Hints, anyone? ;-)
