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? ;-) Regards, Helder [1] http://wiki.github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/sound -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Sound-interface-tp20207777p21793138.html Sent from the qooxdoo-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ qooxdoo-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qooxdoo-devel
