[Sugar-devel] Sugar Web Activity Sound

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Kevin,

I wrote three Sugar Web activities using HTML 5 Audio (FoodChain,
Abecedarium, TankOp), you could have a look on the source code to see how
I've managed the sound.

Basically, I'm relying on <audio> HTML5 tag. BTW my personal experience
tell me that only ONE HTML5 tag should be present in the application to
avoid problem. So, I've decided to put an instance in the top level page an
reused it along the app. See [1][2][3] for more.

Hope it could help.

Best regards from France.

           Lionel
