Playing wav files in Firefox on Red Hat

We have a JavaScript construct that will play .wav files in Firefox on Windows and MacOSX, but that doesn't work for Red Hat Linux. Which extension do I need?

Firefox 3.1 will supportFirefox 3.5, supports tag <audio>

, a standard tag for processing audio. If you use this, you don't need any extensions.



Unfortunately, this will only work with the latest browsers (Firefox 3, for example, is the latest stable release and yet does not support this tag. You may not be able to get it to work with Internet Explorer either).

Try mplayerplug-in, which is available from rpmforge and rpmfusion. It requires mplayer to be installed (obviously) and AFAIK it can play pretty much anything.

Have you tried Moonlight? I don't think the Media Codec was available when you first asked, but it is now available ;-)
