Yes, this is true.

Although it may seem strange at first, I think it's straight-forward and
works quite well.  There are a few tutorials/blogs explaining how this
works, for example:

Please see the playSound() function here:

It's only a few lines of JavaScript which is wrapped up in a function which
is simple to call each time a particular sound needs to be played.
