The screenshots I saw on github look great but it's a complete no-go on Firefox 24.10 on linux.

Ouch. We didn't have a Linux machine around to test that case but we will definitely look into it. Right now Chrome is the best supported for our player.

I don't think version 24 and earlier supports Web Audio API, according to what I found with a little digging so it's not your code.

We do have flash fallback but no one's got time for that :)

Not working for me on Chromium 33.0.1750.152 Ubuntu 13.10, stuck loading forever.

Good to know. I'll find a Linux box to test this on. Thanks for the info.

It works fine on 34 Chrome on Linux.

You might want to give something like Saucelabs or Browserstack a go if they offer Linux?

Otherwise you just use virtualbox for an opensource winning way. :)

browser compatibility is hard :). in all seriousness though, we're working to support every browser we can. hopefully we'll have some fixes for Linux users in the next couple of days

Oh, yeah! Not a complaint, just a report! That would be awesome.

It's not, we've shipped it in 25 (source: I wrote part of it).
