Audio Playback on Safari

Details

Safari on both iOS and macOS don't support .ogg playback which is a shame because on iOS specifically, all browsers use webkit. Hence, previewing beatmap audio is impossible on a non jailbroken iOS device.

Preferred Solution

Upon looking up for an easy to implement solution, I found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38581887/safari-doesnt-play-ogg-files-so-how-does-it-work-on-wiktionary-org

This javascript library should allow playback of ogg files on browsers that do not support it natively. It would be neat if you can implement this if possible!

This will be addressed with the client rewrite, which will happen soon™️
