As a result, things are constantly evolving and you have to be prepared for things to change from day to day. In fact, this post was mainly motivated by my disappointment that sound support hadn't evolved much in the preceding 1.5 years since I had last played with html5 audio.<br /><br />Chrome audio support firmed up over the summer. Ie9 always had decent audio support as long as you were willing to pay $2500 to mp3licensing.com for the rights to include mp3s in your game. I don't know about Firefox, and I don't think there has been much change in the mobile space. <br /><br />Of course, the fact that sound support is fine now only means that html5 audio is ok for little experimental stuff. If you're doing professional programming where you want as many people as possible to have access to your stuff, you'll probably have to wait another year or two more before there's wide enough deployment for it to be worthwhile.Minghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458103015154082202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9350640.post-30634674479293164822011-10-02T17:26:32.088-04:002011-10-02T17:26:32.088-04:00And what about 'Impact' library?

All the graphic stuff works great but audio seriously blows and it blows differently from browser to browser.Krishttp://www.krissteele.netnoreply@blogger.com
