I've just started playing a bit with audio. One thing I noticed with

between when the audio clip end is reached and when the clip starts

That might be related to the fact that we haven't implemented 'loop'
yet.
Woops, caught me there. It's exciting to have programmatic audio
available AT ALL, was forgetting some of the details.
But since you mention it, any idea whether the Moz developers plan on
implementing seamless looping or not? I'm curious whether anyone cares,
and what folks interpretation of looping means. The spec should be made
more specific, one way or another ("must/should/may implement seamless
looping"). Or even provide some other mechanism to allow for seamless
looping if the current APIs are insufficient, and it's deemed important.
The spec simply says "If the media element has a loop attribute specified,
then seek to the earliest possible position of the media resource and
abort these steps." This would give seamless looping if an implementation
makes an effort to make it so. I certainly don't think there should be an
option to have seamless looping or not, each implementation will simply
have to do its best.
