This is for ARM processor.

Chromium 12.0.742.60 and audio tag was working fine.
Ex, <audio src="test.ogg" controls="true">Not working</audio> this
would show controls and I could play file

Now I tried Chromium.15.0.874.106 and Chromium 16.0.912.75 and for
both of them the above test audio file will show "Not working"
alternative text. So audio tag is not recognized?? How can Google
release something which breaks backward compatibility of something so
fundamental?

For the benefit of anyone who also runs into this problem. The way I
had worked in the past till beta 12 was to use the libffmpeg from the
chromium-browser-nonfree-codecs package on Ubuntu (Maverick) on ARM.
(Since I wanted mp3 support which is not enabled in the libffmpeg that
ships with Chromium due to licensing issues)...

Anyway, so I guess the new Chromium builds are no longer compatible
with the libffmpeg that comes with the chromium-browser-nonfree-codec
package. Of course, if I build libffmpeg in the Chromium build then I
can play ogg but mp3s do not work.

Can someone in Chromium team look into this...
