Hi,
Thank you for you great work.

I am making games and I need to play several short sounds.
I first try with :
<audio id="audiochrome">
</audio>

And in the javascript :

var mson=document.getElementById("audiochrome");
mson.src="somesound.ogg"
mson.play();

This works fine the first time, but if I call it again :

var mson=document.getElementById("audiochrome");
mson.src="anothersound.ogg"
mson.play();

The first sound is played instead of "anothersound.ogg"


=========================================================
To workaround the problem, I then created an audio at each new sound :
 // Works on Mac also
 var mson=document.getElementById("audiochrome");
 if (mson) {
    document.body.removeChild(mson);
    // to be clean... 
 }
 mson=document.createElement("audio");
 mson.id="audiochrome";
 mson.src="sound1.ogg";
 document.body.appendChild(mson);

This works fine for exactly 50 times. After that it becomes silent. 
When I try to debug, sounds come back !

So Im stuck !

I would like to be able to say for my games :
"Sounds are supported with IE AND Chome !"
instead of
"Sounds are only supported with IE" ;-)

Is ther any other way ? (I use wav with IE)
Michel
