I'm not shure if this would be the right way. Think of you'd like to hear =

I use Netscape with QuickTime-Plugin and Mozilla, both work really smooth.=
 IE is broken, but 
that's an old issue. It always asks to save the file. 

Btw, using these two brosers, AU and WAV work pretty smooth, no probems. I=

You can adjust if the background sound is endless or not. I assume there 
should be options to control this via JS.

How about providing a link in the popup which then gives you the possibility 
to download?
I'm currently even thinking about "caching" the generated wav files, so a 
reload should be much faster.

not any longer ;-)

not any longer too ;-)

I found it on the php homepage in the comments to "header()":
1. IE doesn't like the default caching headers of PHP -> always gave an error
    Simply overwrite them
2. IE loves to see a \n\r at the end of the header texts.

Both in CVS now.

Nice to hear, I got both to work with IE 5.5 too <strike>

Are there *any* reasons to take the approach of playing the file as backgr=

okay, I get another error message using ie (att)
Using the latest cvs version and IE (5.5 shipped with Win2k) no output is =
generated (or better, 
downloaded and played by the browser).
Using NS and Mozilla -no problems ;)

Ähm, beside of my broken Netscape installation: No
I didn't realize that the installation is broken. I thought my behaviour is 
normal.
So simply skip my idea.

I checked it again and you are right. Okay, I updated Win2k to SP2 and IE 5.5 
to SP2. Changed one line and now it works again. It still asks you to 
download or play (don't know why again).

So I would like to state IE 5.5 with SP 2 is somehow fine.

Argl.
Was it such late or was it a simple problem between my ears, to write such an 
email last time.

Greetings,

Philipp

problems in other scripts too.
