Doesnt work for me (no audio): Chrome 12 on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit Youtube is playing fine.

Here's the Chrome debugger log:http://pastebin.com/MwqfD1K5

Yes, as said in the README, the audio output doesn't work on Chrome. I have no idea why - audiolib.js should support it. Maybe we're just using it wrong?

If the audiolib.js dev is here or anyone else has a clue, it'd be very welcome.

To get it working on Chrome 13+, enable 'Web Audio API' in about:flags, then click relaunch.

It should then work - more or less :)

Mozilla's audio API allows for more control than chrome's latest stable. If you're using the latest snapshot, it should work.

Really? It's working on Chrome 13 for me, though because of how Chrome slows down JS execution when you switch to another tab, things can get... funky.

It's the same thing in Firefox, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665000

No, it does not work in Chrome yet, only Firefox 4+ (or Aurora etc). But it is on the roadmap.

Works fine for me on Chrome 13, OS X 10.6.7, however I do have Web Audio enabled in about:flags. Whether or not the Web Audio API's by-passing jsmad, I don't know.

Awesome! Good to know, I'll test it right now.

Edit: I cannot get it to work in Canary, even with Web Audio enabled. Hm...

Did you click the Relaunch Chrome button at the bottom of the about:flags page? I got it working with Chrome on OSX once I did that.

You are right, it does work. Thank you!

Confirmed, it works after restart.
