      Hello,

       

       

          I can't seem to play sounds with the a4j:mediaOutput component. Here's my try:

       

       

       

      ... 
          MediaOutput mediaOutput = new MediaOutput();
            mediaOutput.setId("wavRenderer");
            mediaOutput.setSession(false);
            mediaOutput.setCacheable(false);
            mediaOutput.setElement("object");
            mediaOutput.setMimeType("audio/x-wav");
            mediaOutput.setUriAttribute("data");
            mediaOutput.setCreateContent(facesContext.getApplication().createMethodBinding("#{WAVRenderer.play}", 
                                                                                                new Class[]{OutputStream.class, Object.class}));
            mediaOutput.setValue(new MediaData());

.....

public void play(OutputStream out, Object data) throws IOException {
        try{
           
            out.write(getSoundByteArray());
        }catch(Exception e){
           ...
        }
    }

       

      I noticed setMimeType does not work, I need to re-set it with javascript. However, the play method does not get called. In Firefox nothing happens, in IE I see a player on the page but activex is blocked, if I change settings, an external player is started (windows media player) with error (probably it's missing the sound to play, since the play method isn't called). What am I doing wrong?

       

       

      Richfaces version used: 3.3.3.Final (upgrading is out of question)

      Jboss 4.2.3

       

      Please help.

      Thank you.

      Ioana.
