56 Working with Graphics, Animation, and Multimedia
And while video on the Web may be “not quite ready for prime time,”
don’t overlook the possibilities of creative audio. You can add
entertainment value and interest with well-selected, short audio clips
like single words or phrases, themes, sound effects, and the like. For
longer clips, we suggest you use the inline option, which provides a
small on-screen player. Visitors who don’t care for the audio will
appreciate being able to click the stop button!
In sum, while we wouldn’t recommend making non-streaming audio a
centerpiece of your Web site, it’s certainly another way of introducing
welcome variety to your pages. The constraints are real at this stage—
but let your creativity rise to the challenge.
