I am hoping to have the ability to display audio fields inline, much like FlashVideo or inline.module does using something like a [audio:file.mp3] tag. Currently I use both Media Field and Display Media Field, I'm not sure which module would need patched to implement something like this.

Would this be easy to implement, i.e. a search and replace in the node for any [audio] tags, then adding the JWFlashplayer code from Display Media Field?

My php is pretty basic, but if anybody can give me pointers or suggestions on how to do this, I can give it a go...

I've just taken over maintainer of this module, this is a old issue thats not been updated in a long time (apart from by VeryMissunderstood correcting its version), if its still a problem/of interest please re-open.

I'm still interested in seeing this happen. I think this type of functionality would be very useful for educational sites that use a lot of audio, as well as bloggers who would like to stick audio within a post without having to mess with html.

I think minimally you could add a filter that checks for [audio] tags, much like FlashVideo module does. Optimally you could have a plugin integrated into TinyMCE/FCKEditors for adding audio with a click of a button.

Hope there is more interest for this from others :)

This does seem to be quite an edge use case, while i agree its nice functionality to have, i don't have much time at the moment to dedicated to new features. Its likely this module will change drastically for Drupal 6 (with it being deprecated by the FileField module/becoming a plugin for that module : see http://drupal.org/node/222669). If you submit a patch i will consider it, or it may be better to submit a patch to the http://drupal.org/project/mediafield_display module as that deals with the display of these fields.

Thanks for the quick reply. Since it sounds like this module is going to be replaced in Drupal 6, I decided to close the issue and wait for Audio Filefield to come out. Thanks!
