That seems like the obvious way one would implement the chaining of
videos, isn't it? Although it doesn't allow for pre-loading and
therefore seamless linking unless you've loaded 'bar' in another <audio>
somewhere else previously. Hmm...
I think I want to be able to do:
var a = new Audio('foo');
a.play();
a.src = 'bar';
a.load();
a.onended = function() { a.play(); a.onended = null; }
which gives me the preloading as well without needing an extra element.

Good question. I think that if I add a <source> element, it should be
automatically load()ed. But if I call play(), then the resource
selection algorithm should be used at that point to tell which video
actually plays.
