> Hugo, you're correct that iOS WebKit requires user interaction to load or play media, but this policy will not change, so I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX.

> 2) You can create all your <audio> elements at once in response to a "click" event and require your users to click the screen to begin your presentation.

Thank you for your feedback.
I have followed instructions at https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/documentation/audiovideo/conceptual/using_html5_audio_video/PlayingandSynthesizingSounds/PlayingandSynthesizingSounds.html and http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webaudio/intro/
I implemented a function that creates a new AudioContext(), load the audio file asynchronously using XHR (arraybuffer) create a new source, set the buffer and play(0).
I attached this function to an onClick() event of a TD tag. It still will not play the sound. Although it play fine on Windows.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks
Hugo
