This is really neat looking, but 50% CPU usage is a bit much. Admittedly, I'm on an older Core 2 Duo desktop, but still, I don't even remember Winamp visualizations taking this much CPU on my old Pentium-class machine years ago.

Yeah...optimization is definitely in our pipeline.

Not working for me on Chromium 33.0.1750.152 Ubuntu 13.10, stuck loading forever.

Good to know. I'll find a Linux box to test this on. Thanks for the info.

It works fine on 34 Chrome on Linux.

You might want to give something like Saucelabs or Browserstack a go if they offer Linux?

Otherwise you just use virtualbox for an opensource winning way. :)

A couple people have asked for this today. I think I'll be pushing a UI for this in the next couple of days :)

It's unfair to just say "Hey look. Youtube and Vimeo with billions of dollars and decades of experience between them decided to put a volume control. You should too." But personally, there should be a volume control. It is very common for multiple streams of sounds to occur in today's computing environment.

One of my projects, listen2edm.com, has great use of the volume control on the browser.

Some of us want background noise.

browser compatibility is hard :). in all seriousness though, we're working to support every browser we can. hopefully we'll have some fixes for Linux users in the next couple of days

Oh, yeah! Not a complaint, just a report! That would be awesome.
