This is a request to get a Javascript event when an embedded audio link has been
played to completion.  There's a page with an mp3 embed on it, and once the mp3
reaches the end, a Javascript function would be called.  EG:

<EMBED SRC="your_file.mid" onPlayed="javascript:myFunc">

The purpose of this is to develop a browser-based MP3 player.  I've figured out
how to do everything but how to start the next MP3 when the current one is done,
and I'm fairly certain that it's impossible without the feature I'm requesting.

You would reasonably reply "Get a SMIL player."  The reason why I don't want to
do that is that my browser-based player is more about the web than about
multimedia.  I need the goodness of a mature browser, like cookie handling,
bookmarks, and sharing the browser cache, much more than I need the the
precision control of timing that SMIL gives you.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
