> By the way, it's pretty dumb and shortsighted to depict flash as a neanderthal, because both its capabilities and its ease of use are (were) way beyond what current JS frameworks offer today (and in the upcoming years, at least).

You're taking his depiction of Flash out of context.

He was clearly only comparing the different solutions in terms of audio capabilities.

I can appreciate how much of a gigantic leap in capabilities Web Audio API offers compared to HTML5 audio alone, so I can vouch for that part of his depiction.

I haven't ever worked with Flash audio, nor Flash itself in general though, so you may still be right about him being unfair and shortsighted in making that comparison in the context of audio capabilities, but I think it's still an important distinction to make if that was in fact your critique.

I know he was talking about the audio, but my critique works both about flash in general and about audio support in particular.

ELEVEN YEARS ago Flash was already capable of both playing and recording audio from multiple sources, using several different codecs and offering the usual bells and whistles you're expected to find in any multimedia framework (vis.eq., channels, etc). And everything working exactly the same way in every browser equipped with a flash player.

And I'm taking eleven years ago because that's when AS3 was released. Flash had considerable audio support before that anyway.
