OK. I have mentioned sound a few times with no response. Im assuming either no one knows the answer or it has already been answered before and I just havent found the thread.

So.. I work mostly on a Mac and test mainly in Safari. Now I have reached the stage where I am incorporating sounds into my game and no matter what file formats I supply I cannot get any sounds to play in Safari.

The AutoTest also cannot play sounds even if I force it to play the wav files.

However when I place this html in the output of the audiotest app and run it the wav file plays just fine.

<html>
<head>
	<title>Sound Test</title>
</head>
<script>
function init()
{
	var snd = new Audio("data/shoot.wav");
	snd.play();
}
</script>

<body onload="init();">
</body>
</html>


What is going on ?

Somehow Safari must handle it differently than Chrome or Firefox.

OK... problem found.

It seems to be an issue with MServer. I never thought to look at the output from that but when you play a sound in safari it reports an error :

Error parsing 'connection' header.

if I open the app as a local file it works fine and when I upload it to a web site it also works fine.
