Earlier quoted context omitted.

Aw, too bad. They must be aware they're blocking browsers that support it if they have that override. But yes, that does work for me. (*Edit: it appears audio is [at worst] broken in Chrome stable according to the dev blog for this project). Yup, doesn't even try to load Flash at all now, great!

Chrome is the only browser to support the Web Audio API (which isn't fully standardised yet anyway I don't think), but that is an amazing API for audio, and is far better than HTML5 audio.

Mozilla supports the Audio Data API which predates Chromes entry into that space: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Audio_Data_API At some point this will be battled out in the W3C and a standard API will appear.

The behind the scenes writeup is good: http://www.cuttherope.ie/dev/

Although the senior developer says in the video: "Objective C is object oriented, has classes and structs. And those things just don't exist in JavaScript." .. Well, except object orientation, of course ;-)
