Description Ashley Gullen 2014-07-15 10:40:05 PDT 
In iOS 8 beta 3, audio with 'loop' set to 'true' has a momentary pause when the sound restarts. The audio should be able to loop seamlessly.

Did this happen in iOS 7, as well? When testing, I do get a moment of silence repeatedly, but not at the time when "now" is printed. I can't test on iOS 8 at the moment.

This is a valid request. 

Does any other browser support seamless HTML5 <audio> looping yet?
Comment 3 Ashley Gullen 2014-07-16 08:22:43 PDT 
I don't think any other browser does this yet, nor did iOS ever support it.

You might want to double-check this with your own audio file, I'm finding it hard to find an AAC encoder that doesn't pad with silence in the audio file itself.
