Thats what I thought. If you want 'seamless' then Javascript is not the right place to look. If it can't loop a tiny set of images how did you expect it to loop a sound file?
Try RealAudio or one of the likes for a SERVER that can stream the audio.

Andy,
I've tried that in a test page. Results: I Recommend NEVER try this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<CENTER>
<script>
var timerID=NULL;
document.write (navigator.appCodeName + "<br>");
document.write (navigator.appName + "<br>");
document.write (navigator.appVersion + "<br>");
document.write (navigator.userAgent + "<br>");
function loopsound () {
location="jungle1.au";
timerID=setTimeout('loopsound()',5000)
}
loopsound()
</script>
</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>
It will annoy the heck out of everyone. Well what I want to do is play
a looping audio file seamlessly. Well I guess Shockwave or Java will
probably play a looping audio file better than JS. Unless there is a
Plug-in that can do this. What's better is if it can do this using
continuous streaming.
