[Oreka-devel] Play sound files on Linux (no windows media player)

Hello,

we trying to play back sound files from Orkweb in Firefox under Xubuntu.

Looking at the code
<script language="JavaScript">
        function play (audioFilename)
        {
            document.all.player.autoStart = true;
            document.all.player.fileName = audioFilename;
        }
</script>

<OBJECT ID="player"
    CLASSID="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"
   
CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.
    cab#Version=5,1,52,701"
    STANDBY="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..."
    TYPE="application/x-oleobject"
    WIDTH=280 HEIGHT=50 >
    <PARAM NAME="fileName" VALUE="">
    <PARAM NAME="animationatStart" VALUE="false">
    <PARAM NAME="transparentatStart" VALUE="true">
    <PARAM NAME="showControls" VALUE="true">
    <PARAM NAME="ShowStatusBar" VALUE="true">
    <PARAM NAME="ShowDisplay" VALUE="false">
    <PARAM NAME="ShowPositionControls" VALUE="true">
    <PARAM NAME="ShowTracker" VALUE="true">
    <PARAM NAME="CurrentPosition" VALUE="0">
    <PARAM NAME="autoStart" VALUE="true">
</OBJECT>

I can see that this will only work with Windows Media Player Active X
control.

So my feeling is: This could not work under Linux.


Has anybody already tried to use another embedded player, (e.g.
soundmanager, dewplayer, swplayer, flowplayer, page-player.js) or
similar to embed this instead of Windows Media Player?
How are you dealing with Clients under Linux?
