Wow, that's quite a limitation, and a quick search on google shows a
plethora of issues people have with audio in html5. But isn't the
problem browser specific? Perhaps you could suggest that the
developers use a simple audio javascript/html5 library. A quick search
revealed a few, and of course they all claim to solve the problem of
audio playback in html5 :)

Javascript has no built in low level data format - there are various tricks with forcing data into / out of utf8 strings, but really I don't think there is any straightforward way to get a data structure like a csound table as a full first class citizen in js. A javascript "array" is implemented as an ordered hash map (what javascript calls "objects") - you can make this act like a table with indexes as keys (and mind you, in js every key is a string - so it isn't even {1 : 0}, but {"1" : 0} with the conversion happening automatically with the foo[1] lookup), but you'll never get anything like the runtime performance of an array out of it, and the translation from that "array" to the format audio output would use is not simple.

Hi Guys, Have an off the topic subject but thought some of you may have some helpful advice.

I'm working on a mobile game with a game dev team and we have run into the limitation with HTML5 where you can only play back one audio file at a time.

Is there anyway around this? At the movement we have one long audio file and are using sprites, but was wondering if there is any way to use something like tables and load audio samples into a buffer or something, to bypass this limitation?

I'm just doing the audio for the game, so I'm not a developer or programmer, but any tips will help.

Thanks in advance,

Gaz
