JavaScript Based Audio Engine

This page is a demonstration of adding sound effects to web pages.
It relies on JavaScript, so there are no plugins to download or run.
The sounds play natively in the web browser.

Click the links below to hear the sounds play Glass Breaking   Film Camera Capture   Fade Palette   Send Contact   All 4 at once

Now try a bit of audio on an action Fade Palette sound + Drop Out action

The JavaScript Audio Engine was first invented to run solely in WebVeteran.com. But it worked so well and is very stable, so I offer it for other websites now.
The audio engine is infinitely tracked. Meaning you can play any number of sounds at the same time. They will overlap/mix.
Since the sounds are downloaded when you click, it is best to use small or short sound bites for interface effects only. It is not suited for long or large sounds (such as dreaded background music).
