I'm pretty sure it's just starting the animation.
Can confirm this. It was a good feature when using youtube. I usually search for something then shift+click about 4-5 links and watch them one by one. In chrome you have to go into each on of those tabs and pause the video to avoid a clusterf*ck of different sounds. With safari it seems to do it automatically.

#72Great, yet another feature that should be being implemented by the OS VENDOR, intead being implemented in a non-standardized manner by an APP DEVELOPER. See kids, this is what happens when your OS vendors decide that its more important to add shiny to their products than it is to fix deep architectural problems. In this case, that problem is that the AUDIO API's do not already have a native way to add this indicator,…

#75However, the search results were not what I was expecting. Searching 'fname + lname' would return all records with the lname field. No amount of Googling helped and I'm still stuck. I started googling by using phrases such as 'dynamic query not returning results in solr'. When the results didn't solve my problem I got more specific. 'Dynamic query solr with relative boosts not returning results'. No luck. I am learning all about Solr, the schema, eDisMax query processor and all the other good stuff but am not finding any resolutions. Also this process is very exhausting.
I have found this kind of learning to be not stick in memory. Meaning - nothing sits in memory. So tomorrow if an interviewer asks anything about Solr setup - I'll have no answers, or if I have to setup Solr again - I'll have to follow the Google route or follow a manual. Not sure if this is effective but I'd be comfortable having stuff in my memory rather than depend on Google for a majority of my tasks.

What do you mean? A browser knows which of its tabs are doing what, the OS has no idea of the concept of tabs in one browser.

Perhaps this is common but I hadn't seen it until recently.
EDIT: wanted to add that this means you can see that the page is 'playing', but it doesn't work if you pin the tab in Chrome.

Only if it works reliably though. I wonder whether they can make it work with plugins. Maybe you'd have to get a hook with some platform specific OS API that tells you when sound is playing (does this even exist though)? You could then match this to user interactions within the browser - did the user click inside my browser window when the event started? Then it's probably happening within that tab and I'm gonna show…
Safari won't run any flash animation until you actually have the tab active and is pretty reliable. I'll be happy if they do that.
