Support for moving to back and forward in the audio file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am wondering whether this widget will allow to skip forward and backward.
With the html embed/object tags, we can enable the show controls to allow
the user to move back and forth. By looking at the code, I see only few
methods like setVolume and setBalance. Any plans to support the above feature?

Future support for additional playback controls will ultimately depend on
plugin/browser support, which is currently very lacking.

Even volume/balance cannot be controlled under all browser/plugin combinations, 
so in
some cases setVolume/setBalance do nothing!

Can we have an approach - that if you have FLASH or some other class A plugin
available then there is a set of functionality like 
- going back and forth
- pause 
made available.

Hi Fred, 
when do you think that the additional playback controls support will be 
available? Or
is it already in one of these releases. 
Thanks

gwt-voices is intended as a general purpose sound support library, taking 
advantage
of a multitude of plugins and native browser capabilities. In general, random 
access
is not available.

I believe that in order for a feature (such as random access) to be useful, it 
has to
either be generally available, or has to exhibit some sort of graceful 
degradation.

Random access would really only be available if you could guarantee Flash or
Quicktime. Once you have these requirements, you might almost as easily look at 
the
many existing solutions out there which are Flash/Quicktime based solutions.

I do consider random access important, and would like to support it, which is 
why
this issue has Status:Accepted. However, I believe we need to wait for better 
browser
sound support before it can be properly implemented.

Changing status to reflect lack of (generally available) browser support for 
this 
feature at this time

Hi Fred,

I really need this feature in my current application.  If I wanted to add it ( 
just
for me, or as a patch for others that need it ), where would I start ?

Thanks again for this sweet module.

For MP3 the capabilities are the broadest, but are today still limited by 
Flash's 
support which is documented here:

Do you know of any GWT - FLASH/Quicktime based packages that can offer the 
enhanced 
functionality
