Is it possible to autoplay audio file on a slide?

Description

I have audio clips for each slide that I want to autoplay when a slide is visited. Is that possible?

Revealjs has some support for this : https://revealjs.com/media/#autoplay
It should be working in Quarto generated slides too. The global config is in our reference page too: https://quarto.org/docs/reference/formats/presentations/revealjs.html#media

If this is not working, or you need specific, you should look at the API event for revealjs. There is a slidechanged event (https://revealjs.com/events/#slide-changed) and you can do some JS processing when triggered.

Thanks a lot.

Quick update: It works. For example, I put this in a slide:

<audio>
  <source src="path/to/audio_file.wav" type="audio/wav">
</audio> 

And put auto-play-media: true in revealjs options in the YAML.
