With the release of HTML5 A whole bunch of new elements where introduced including the audio and video elements. The huge advantage of these new elements is that most browsers today can understand these new HTML5 elements, this is great since Adobe is no longer supporting flash for mobile. Also since the audio and video are now a real element on the page and not some flash addon, you have an even greater level of control over these media elements.
To sum it up, the plugin enables indirect styling of <saudio> element. That's why I built it. I wanted the player to fit the design theme for one of my present projects – IP telephony for business (VOIP). The audio element serves for IVR (Interactive Voice Response) function where clients can built their own voice responders / menus, make audio records and rehear them.
