Public bug reported:
When checking if Chromium has Opus audio support, I went into the
console and typed acheck = document.createElement("audio"); followed by
acheck.canPlayType("audio/ogg; codecs=opus") which gave me "maybe" for
the response. This can be confusing since some detection scripts look
for maybe or probably and use that response as the browser supporting
that codec.
I have chromium-codecs-ffpeg-extra installed and I don't know if the
Opus support is waiting to be integrated by Google themselves or if it
is dependent on the ffmpeg tied to the Chromium browser in Ubuntu. If
Google isn't having Opus support until a later version, is there any
idea when it will be? If it is not possible with versions of Chromium
suppored on Lucid and up, why is it reporting as "maybe" ?
