Description Richard Connamacher 2011-03-19 22:44:13 PDT 
Feature request: add a 'pan' (or webkitPan) javascript property to HTML5 Media elements, to allow programs to position audio between left and right speakers.

-1.0 would be 100% left, 1.0 would be 100% right, and default would be 0.0 (normal).

(Or better yet, work with WhatWG to get support from other browsers too!)

This would allow JavaScript games to better use HTML5 audio instead of Flash, as well as bolstering iOS devices' HTML gaming capabilities.

Backwards compatibility would be fine, as other browsers would continue playing audio from both speakers equally.
