But can anyone see a good reason why a browser would refuse to play a .wav file, but happily render .html, .jpg, .css, etc?
This is not an appropriate question for webkit-dev as it is not a question about the development of WebKit. A good place to get answers about this are in the iOS Dev Center and Safari Dev Center. Generally speaking, media playback on webpages has to be user-initiated in iOS. This is covered in various Apple documentation, such as Safari HTML5 Audio and Video Guide, but typically that concentrates on the <audio> element rather than directly loading a wav file. But please don’t ask followup questions about this on this mailing list, since it’s off topic for the list. -- Darin
