html5 audio

[Juanito]

Has anybody had any success with html5 audio and opera?

I've tried with alsa/opera-11.62 on core and alsa/opera-12.1 on corepure64 and neither will play various test html5 audio controls.

On the same machine with alsa/firefox-17.0.1 on core various html5 audio controls work without problems.

As an aside firefox-17.0.1/core will play the html5 fishbowl test at 60fps, whereas opera-11.62/core plays it at 23fps and opera-12.1/corepure64 at 29fps - all on the same machine.

Firefox and Opera has different rendering engines, so the way they access the system to produce the events on HTML5 are different too. Maybe it's causing the discrepances that you are seeing.

Did you tested something with Chromium?

(I think you know that but I will post anyway, can be useful for someone) The engines are: Gecko (firefox), Presto (Opera), Webkit (Chromium).

Opera uses gstreamer for html5 vid, do you have that working (in some player that uses it)?

[Juanito]

No, I did not have gstreamer loaded for any of the tests - audio or video

I should've written html5 media and not video, gstreamer is used for audio too.

..and, now html5 audio works with alsa/opera-11.62/core/gstreamer - thanks

I hadn't thought opera would go down that route and it certainly wasn't obvious from google 

pulseaudio/opera-11.62/core64/gstreamer also works

Edit: To correct above and to add..

but pulseaudio/firefox-17.0.1/core64 seems to have problems
