Audio API
Aside from the hardware acceleration features, Firefox 4 beta 5 also includes one other notable inclusion: a new audio API.
The new audio features put to work the new HTML 5 audio tag and allow developers to read and write raw audio data within the browser. This opens up opportunities for developers to apply filters to audio, create visualisations of audio content and manipulate it in a variety of ways using the new HTML canvas tag. A demonstration of the capabilities of the new audio tag can be seen in this video
The final release of Firefox 4 is expected in November this year.
