Example HTML5 Audio usage. Notes of what doesn't work if you *DON'T* have a streaming server.

example.js

var url = "path/to/my/audio.mp3";
var ap = new window.Audio();
var isLoaded = false;

ap.addEventListener('canplay', function () {
      isLoaded = true;
      console.log(url.split("/").pop() + " loaded");
      this.play();
}, false);

ap.addEventListener('error', function () {
      isLoaded = false;
      console.log(url.split("/").pop() + " failed to load");
}, false);

ap.src = "content/" + url; // convert from 'raw' to 'actual'
ap.load();
ap.loop = true; // XXXX Audio didn't loop!

ap.addEventListener('ended', function () {
    // XXXX attempt to manually loop. Doesn't work!
    this.currentTime = 0;
    this.play();

  }, false );


function seekTo(time) {
  // XXXX doesn't work!
  ap.currentTime = time;
}
