I'm rebuilding my website from flash to html5 it has a lot of sounds and videos please take a look at www.davidepepe.com (this is the flash website that will be very soon exchanged with the html5) the problem is that audio can't be looped gapless in firefox. The same html5 code works very well in explorer. Things that I hate because I would prefer people to use firefox instead of explorer!!!

The code I've written is: <audio autoplay loop="loop"> Your browser does not support the audio element. </audio>

Even the wav files doensn't help.

I hope you will fix it very soon. By the way I'm not requesting a workaround I want a fix that will make the same code work on every browser. That is what HTML5 is supposed to be. Differently please stop distribute your browser. I'm sorry but it's crazy to think a web developper must keep in account a different solution for every browser. Best,

Davide
