> Why do I need to "uncover" it in the first place? With ClickToFlash (a flash-blocker on OS X for Safari) enabled I have to uncover it, "unlock" it and then play it. The uncover-step shouldn't be necessary imho and then you wouldn't need an auto-play-function which wouldn't cause the problem on reloading the page (that everything plays at once on some browsers). Isn't it possible to load the audiofile only when someone pushes play?

This is a good question. The original cover/uncover was to fit the
(current) flash
player icon in unobtrusively. Now that we're exploring something more minimal
it might be avoidable. OTOH, I like the idea of some visual change to signal
that the click has activated something.

I'll bounce this off Charles.
