    <p>HTML5 doesn't specify what audio formats (whether progressive or streaming) the player must support. That's up for the browser to determine, based on demand and implementation feasibility. In earlier drafts, we tried to specify a few baseline codecs and formats that all browsers must support, but each of the possible formats caused some browser vendor to refuse to implement it.</p> <p>The following appears to work in Safari (4.0.4, WebKit nightly 6531.21.10, r54538, Mac OS X 10.6.2), but not Chrome or Firefox:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;audio controls src="http://shoutcast.internet-radio.org.uk:10272/"&gt;&lt;/audio&gt; </code></pre> <p>(note that <code>&lt;audio&gt;</code> requires an end tag in the HTML serialization, it can't use an XML style self-closing tag, and I need to include <code>controls</code> or <code>autoplay</code> in order to actually start the audio)</p> <p>This is likely due to the fact that Safari gets support for Shoutcast "for free" because it just uses QuickTime to handle any audio and video URLs it is given, and QuickTime already has support for Shoutcast. This can also lead to some strange bugs, as QuickTime's HTTP implementation is, well, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1995589/html5-audio-safari-live-broadcast-vs-not/1995977#1995977">quirky</a>, to put it kindly.</p> <p>I'd suggest filing bugs asking for Shoutcast support in browsers that don't support it. Here are the bug trackers for <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Firefox (Gecko/Mozilla)</a>, <a href="http://crbug.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Chrome (Chromium)</a>, and <a href="http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Safari</a> (if it happens not to work on Windows, or something like that).</p>
