Summary	0009382: Add 3D sound function for the browser
Description	It would be nice if there was a function that allows you to play the sound that occurs inside the browser to hear in-game in 3d, similar to playSound3D. Would that be possible at all?
Tags	No tags attached.

It's a fair amount of work, and would only work with HTML5 video/sound. Develop a custom page with your sound or video embedded. Create a JavaScript API to adjust the HTML5 volume: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/av_prop_volume.asp Expose the Volume functionality to Lua Adjust the volume using typical 3D position checks in Lua script. As for panning, it's probably unlikely to happen because it really needs a Chrome API to be done.
