[html5] HTML5 Audio Support Ready or Not?

[Chris Pearce]

Hi msacks,

Most of the issues reported by Dominic in that post are quality of 
implementation issues, not an inherent problem with the API itself.

If implemented as specified, the HTML5 Audio API itself would be 
perfectly adequate for most common use cases. Us browser vendors just 
need to ensure we're spending time improving and bug-fixing our HTML5 
audio implementations.

Regards,
Chris Pearce.
