Really? You'd be supporting them both, I'd say. Anyway, you first try playing it natively in an audio element. That works fine in Opera and Mozilla. Then you fallback to a series of oject elements, first with the raw file to catch users that have a plugin with support for that media type, then those that have VLC plugin, then WMP with the Ogg DirectShow filter, Quicktime with the right codec installed, and finally a Flash/Java/SilverLight catch-all which both implements a player and actually plays the file. Most would probably cut out the middle object elements and go with an audio element falling back to a single object element with the Flash Ogg player. And you would definitely be supporting Ogg over the competitors since the most reliable way of getting audio on the web today is Flash anyway, but that is typically MP3 (or AAC, since Flash 9 supports it as part of it's MPEG4 support) instead of Ogg at the moment. It's not a choice of Ogg versus Flash, it's a choice of Ogg or MP3, both played through Flash, with the possibility to play natively in the browser too. (Safari and Internet Explorer will support whatever Quicktime and DirectShow supports, respectively, so those will play MP3 and either AAC or WMA natively. Will Mozilla and Opera play MP3 natively? I haven't read up on that.) -- var Liorean = { abode: "[sigrotate][url]http://liorean.web-graphics.com/[/url]|[url]http://codingforums.com/[/url]|[url]http://web-graphics.com/[/url][/sigrotate]", profile: "[url]http://codingforums.com/member.php?u=5798[/url]"};
