In my visualforce page, I'm using javascript to connect to an external server and need to play back audio coming from the server. The problem is that when I try to play back sound through the audio channel, salesforce already has control of that channel and I can't play sounds through it. Has anyone run into this or have any suggestions? It seems like whichever calls access to the audio gets it first, and salesforce does that (not sure why they need it) before I can run my code.

I logged a case with support, but their oh so helpful india call centers took a week and said they didn't know. Suggesions?
