title: Playing remote audio (from Google Translate) in HTML5 on a server
body: <p>I'm trying to use text-to-speech on a website using HTML5 and Google Translate.</p>
  
  <p>Getting speech from Google is as easy as a GET request to:
  <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&amp;q=hello">http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&amp;q=hello</a></p>
  
  <p>In order to play that file I'm using the audio-tag:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;audio id="speech" src="http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&amp;q=hello" controls="controls" autoplay="autoplay"&gt;Your browser does not support the audio element.&lt;/audio&gt;</code><br></p>
  
  <p>That works perfectly when I try to open the html file locally using Chrome 11, but doesn't work at all when I open the html from my server... It just doesn't do anything (the play button flashes for a second, but nothing happens).</p>
  
  <p>You can find the file here: <a href="http://www.announcify.com/chrome/background.html">http://www.announcify.com/chrome/background.html</a></p>
  
  <p>Any ideas? :)
