Very Computer

Hi,

I'm trying to get my netscape and/or konqueror to work with the new
sound feature on the Merriam Webster web site (http://www.m-w.com),
but all I get (in netscape) is the plug-in missing window that
redirects me to the netscape web site, which isn't helpful at all.

Interestingly, if I click on regular links to *wav files, my netscape
interpretes them fine and they get played.

Thanks

Wroot

  Tough to say exactly...  When I use NS 3.04, I can't get
it to play, no matter what I have for helper apps to play
audio/x-wav.  I attribute this to the fact that the
JavaScript support in NS 3.04 is quite dated.  Straight
links to sound files play fine.

  When I use NS 4.76, (which has Plugger handling the plug-ins),
the word from webster plays over and over in a loop until I
'killall play'

  Using Mozilla 0.7, I get a dialog box pop-up asking what
application I want to play it with.  I pick /usr/bin/play
and the sound plays once, as it's supposed to.

  You might also want to make sure that bothaudio/x-wav and
audio/wav types have the same helper apps.
