Using the <audio> component

Good morning,

I am looking to use the new <audio> component to play background audio in my application.
The source is a local file in my app, and I can play it via the <video> component, but it does not seem to work with the <audio> component. Does anyone have a working example, or tell me any caveats to using this?

    Yeah, I would like to see this in action as well. I was able to get the video node to play an MP3, but it doesn't seem to want to play ShoutCast streams. I'm hoping the audio node will rectify that.

    Similar situation, works fine as a Video node, but not Audio.

    Just an FYI update....

    You need to add a trailing / to the end of the ShoutCast url. This also works with the Audio Node Example
