Multimedia Player - Audio-only

Overview

For audio-only, the multimedia player leverages the native HTML5 audio tag.

The multimedia player's timeline relies on the HTML5 progress element and uses a polyfill when the element is not supported.

The MP3 format is the minimum requirement for the player because it is a widely supported format. An optional but highly recommended format, OGG Vorbis, should be added as well to leverage the HTML5 native performance gains.

Example (Ride of the Valkyries)
