That's what I'm disagreeing with. Say you have four <audio> elements, one for each dub, and a <video> element. All five come from different media resources. I think you should be able to have them all in the group, but only have one <audio> playing at a time, ever though in each <audio> there is only one audio track and it is enabled. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
