IPFAudio formatter
This formatter plays the given IPFDocumentl object as sound and renders controls for playback. These audio formats are supported:
- HTML5 Audio (mp3, wav, ogg): For browsers that do not support HTML5 audio, this formatter uses QuickTime to play .mp3 and .wav files. Ogg has no fallback.
- iTunes audio (.m4a, .m4b, .m4p)
- Other QuickTime-supported formats (.caf, .aiff, .au, .sd2, .snd, .awr)
If the File Type attribute is set and valid, this FDF always treats the data it is placed upon as the given file type, regardless of the name of the IPFDocumentI object. So if File Type is set to M4A, the FDF treats all data it is placed upon as an M4A file and attempts to play it using QuickTime (the appropriate player for M4A files).
If this attribute is not set or is invalid, the name of the IPFDocumentI object is used. If the IPFDocumentI object has no name or the name does not have a file extension, the IPFAudio formatter attempts to play the file using QuickTime, because it supports the most file types. You can specify strings or literal messages to be displayed if the element or file type cannot be supported.
