Hmm, that sounds interesting, do you have a link? I think I've seen gray boxes, but can't remember where. For this to work it would be necessary to have styling control over the caption text's layout box, not only the text itself. Still, it could be worthwhile. >> > volume (for each available audio track) >> >> .volume > > Is there a need to have simultaneous playing of audio tracks? If > not, .volume is good enough indeed. Oh right, I didn't consider that. The implementation burden of playing multiple tracks in parallel is considerable, I might note. If there's a great example of the super-accessible media player software that one could look at to get an idea how these things are going to work in practice, that would be great. -- Philip Jägenstedt Core Developer Opera Software
