Package: iceweasel
Version: 22.0-1~bpo70+1
Followup-For: Bug #585149
Hello,
I'd like to come back on this bug as it's flagged 'more info'. I found
out that 2 different pages on the same server and, obviously, the same
browser and browser environment show different behaviors depending on
the procedure used to produce sound.
If you go to the page http://www.heise.de/ct/Mitmachen/Browserdemo/ and
open the first (1. Platz/Landschaft) and the third (3. Platz/Doc Snyder)
demos and click on the blue button labeled "Demo öffnen", you'll notice the
following:
* I hear the sound of the 1st demo, whereas it's playing sound using
JavaScript function (in demo.js using code like
'audio = new Audio("music.wav"); etc...').
(Side note: you can click either "Ohne Schatten" or "Mit Schatten",
it's just to get the demo without or with shadows).
* But I don't hear the sound of the 2nd demo where it's rendered using
the <audio> tag as in
<audio id="soundtrack" preload="auto" loop="loop">
<source src="audio/ct_intro.ogg" type="audio/ogg"/>
<source src="audio/ct_intro.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"/>
</audio>
So, if it's not the desktop environment and not the server environment,
there must be something wrong with the browser, which should be able to
render sound independently from the method used to make it render this
sound.
Hope this helps,
Eric
