 * hello, i’m using the plugin in a page where i do not want to show the player,
   so i used this css code:
 * <span style=”visibility: hidden;”>[audio mp3="xxx.mp3" preload="true" ogg="xxx.
   ogg" autoplay="true" loop="true"]</span>
 * and it works properly on a computer, but unfortunately the audio doesn’t work
   anymore on ipad/iphone.
 * what to suggest to do?
 * thanks

 * i also tried by putting a div element over the other in order to hide the player:
 * <div style=”background:white;z-index:1;width:300px;height:100px;position:absolute;
   top:20px;”> </div>
    <div>[audio mp3....]</div>
 * and it works everywhere except on iphone (ersion n.6) and ipad

 * sorry… but, after many experiments, i realized that the problem is not the visibility
   tricks, but the autoplay. the autoplay doesn’t work
