What I meant in the remark regarding Quicktime (to which Chris replied) was
just that Quicktime provides a library of samples already installed (such as
oboe: program 69). I wasn't addressing how to actually trigger playback in
Javascript (hadn't got that far yet...)
I'm guessing that in Javascript you'd typically have to generate and then play
back a MIDI file if you wanted (er, somewhat) dynamic content that rendered via
Quicktime. But the link above seems to offer hope of an alternative.
