Well, I don't want the sound from webkit to come out, so it seems a little circuitous to add a sound layer that supports multiple inputs just so that I can turn off all the inputs but one. I'm sure your suggestion is valid, it just seems as if there ought to be an easier way -- something like setting enable_webaudio to false. I appreciate the reply, though. _______________________________________________ webkit-gtk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-gtk
