1: the lack of the http:// was me playing around with settings and syntax before I posted the bug.
2: Microsoft has joined back up with HTML 5: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-1030... :: So support for <audio></audio> will be arriving for IE8 in the coming months. I'm not concerned about IE6 since the only Windows Platforms using that are Win2k and previous.. .and seriously, it's not worth any development time to worry about consumers using what is factually the worst non-operating system security nightmare ever released by Microsoft. I've also already posted warnings about using Microsoft web-browsers through AC's site, and given the way Windows Update works, I'm not too terribly concerned about a large number of consumers still using IE7. I am concerned about the number of non Microsoft platforms checking the web, such as Iphones, Blackberries, Palms, and Android based systems, as well as gaming consoles (Nintendo Wii, Sony PS3). Outside of the Iphone, most of these already have road-maps to implement / use HTML 5 components.
3: I'm afraid you are very wrong about .ogg not being, as you term it, web-safe. The .ogg format is specified by W3C for audio and video playback in HTML 5. Also, unlike mp3, it's royalty free and a patent free audio standard. Any vendor can support it, use it, publish it.. Mozilla, Google, and Opera all are shipping the .ogg decoders as part of their current release browsers. Microsoft will be shipping it in their HTML 5 update (or at least they say'll they'll be shipping it. What Microsoft says and what Microsoft does aren't always the same thing). The only holdout really is Apple, and Xiph has a plugin for that ( http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/about.html ). This does make .ogg the best format for posting multimedia to the web and insuring that the largest number of viewers across the widest range of products can access that multimedia.-

Ogg Vorbis / HTML 5?Right now I'm working on embedding a Vorbis encoded file, resource located at http://www.adventurecrossing.net/Reso... : Theoretically, I should just be able to wrap this in <audio></audio> tags and have it play back without invoking an external application. Only... that doesn't happen. It seems like the Web Accelerator system isn't recognizing the file type.
I created a test page to demonstrate how Web Accelerator seems to be handling the HTML 5 audio file: http://www.adventurecrossing.net/comm...
Here, you can see the Vorbis encoded file, when linked, is broken, while the Mp3 encoded file, shows up as viable download / selection. -

no problem with the time delay. Thanks for the heads up on why it behaved like that. -
