Hello J,
I'm glad you mention it, because I will release the YUI Sound Manager as part of the
Bubbling Library Extension in a couple of days, I'm just tuning the examples and the
documentation. This package will allow you to apply sound effects on click or roll over the
Anchors, Inputs and YUI Buttons, also integrate the sound effects with other YUI
Components like Overlays, TabsView, etc. As an add-on, you will be able to play and stop
any remote Audio File. All this features will be mostly automatic (without need to wrote a
single javascript line), also you can customize your own effects.
See a preview here:
