Vorbis dev - Nov 2008 - Announce: OMTK Javascript Vorbis player

Hi again,

well, it's not really true that I can present a pure Javascript Vorbis 
player, but I've been playing along with a few ideas I had to put back 
last year as it showed that I was not really able to get a proper Vorbis 
player working with Flash 9. Now, with Flash 10 and the performance 
optimizations I've been able to achieve, it seemed as a good idea to go 
on. Basically, I've wrapped some Javascript around both a Flash and a 
Java applet player to provide a unified Javascript API to access the 
"backend players". The result seem promising and allows Vorbis streams
to be embedded and accessed through a unified Javascript API if the 
browser supports either Flash (>=10) or Java (>=5/1.5).

I still have some compatability issues (especially with IE and Safari), 
but I've decided to throw out a prerelease demo anyway. Comments and bug 
reports are very much welcome.

The obvious next-step is to support <audio/> for maximum world-domination
power.

I'm not sure why you'd require Java 5 ... cortado contains a resampler
and will even work on the old MS java-vm. :)
