Because most machines these days have volume control built in. You can pause the talk, though, if you want it to shut up for a moment.
I think most people would expect for an audio player to have volume control. I can't think of another web audio player that doesn't offer it.
Why am I getting a talk on Openstack at Cern, and not the Greg KH talk?
All talks have unique URLs, so when you click the link from HN, you shouldn't find yourself at another talk. If you can reproduce that problem, I would be very interested in a detailed bug report, though.
However, we have multiple talks on Openstack[1], if you were interested(;
I'm using Chrome on Linux and I got "You are using an outdated browser - You are using an old version of Chrome whis is 28." That's a little snarky. Chrome on Linux doesn't have automatic updating and I tend to forget to update. Here's a mirror: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:LWDDNOb...
CTO of voicerepublic.com here. Sorry for coming off snarky. We develop and run VR using Debian Stable which ships Chromium 33 right now. We are a very small team building voicerepublic.com and did launch just last week. To offer a perfect experience, we only allow browsers that we actually could test. Whence the team grows, we certainly will test and support more browser versions.
After about 4000 hits from HN, about 1% of visitors have a browser older than:
* Chrome/Chromium 30
* Safari 7
* Firefox 24
* IE 10

But they're completely redundant. What would you use it for?

Good answer. And hey, on the bright side, you reminded me to update Chrome!

The talk at the URL is about something at CERN for me in both browsers. Its an interesting talk, but I don't think its what I'm supposed to be listening too... although maybe thats the joke and this is how they stay sane developing the kernel.

For instance, if I have Gmail open in the background, there's no reason that adjusting the volume of whatever's in the foreground should also force me to change the volume of incoming chat notifications.
Why on earth doesn't that player have a volume control?
