           Summary: sound quality with <audio> is horrible
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://www.studiotouronline.com/Promos/adria-promo.php
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media Elements
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: cptnkirk at me.com


The old <embed> solution provides clear audio while the new <audio> is giving
me very scratchy, muffled sound.

I've posted two example pages.

The <embed> page is here:
http://www.studiotouronline.com/Promos/adria-promo-embed.php

The <audio> page is here:
http://www.studiotouronline.com/Promos/adria-promo.php

The coding in the pages looks like this:

EMBED STYLE
<object style="width:323px; height:25px; padding-top:0px;">
        <embed src="Adria_Vasil-Promo.mp3" autostart="False" width="323"
height="25">
        </embed>
    </object>

AUDIO TAG STYLE
    <audio controls>
        <source src="Adria_Vasil-Promo.mp3" type="audio/mp3">
        <source src="Adria_Vasil-Promo.wav" type="audio/wav">


       <!-- fallback -->
       <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
            QT_WriteOBJECT('Adria_Vasil-Promo.mp3' , '323', '25', '');
       </script>
    </audio>

The QT_WriteOBJECT() function is the one created by Apple.

I have confirmed that the <audio> tag is using the mp3 file by removing the wav
file to test it.
