At the moment, Chrome's new audio support is more of a neat trick than useful, but it is a heck of a trick and I can see really neat games and applications in its future.

While Chrome 14's fanciest features have trouble on Mac OS X, its core functionality is there and it's faster than Safari on my Macs.
