[Jesus Fernandez]

Hi Glen,


There is no plan ATM to support audio. You could add a suggestion to the Qt bug tracker to request it.


Best regards,

Jesús

Audio in WebGL is done differently then on all other platforms. On other platforms we use FMOD internally to supply audio playback and mixing. Since the WebGL platform does not support threads, we need to use a different implementation, which is internally based on the Web Audio API, which lets the ...
