  Hi, this is a pretty big problem and one that’s easily solved, since it’s literally just a tweak to the existing code wrapping up the wordpress.com audio player. Something like what’s been done with:
  http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/degradable-html5-audio-and-video/

  Are there plans to implement this soon? Locking all iOS devices out of embedded audio seems pretty needless, especially when the solution is so simple. If the existing audio player code is modified then no one would need to edit their existing posts – the only loss would be the additional attributes, and some of those could probably be translated (like looping and initial volume).

  Before somebody says “why didn’t you search the forums” – I did. This is all I could find:

  Why lock posts?

  I don’t have an answer for your question about implementation, but about closed posts, they are automatically closed after one month if there’s no new reply.
