The soundjs will not work when the source url is a RESTFUL api.

[Moxmi]

as the follow:

      var src = 'http://dict.youdao.com/dictvoice?audio=testword';

      createjs.Sound.alternateExtensions = ["mp3"]; // add other extensions to try loading if the src file extension is not supported
      //createjs.Sound.onLoadComplete = playSound;  // add a callback for when load is completed
      createjs.Sound.addEventListener("fileload", function() {createjs.Sound.play('demo')}); // add an event listener for when load is completed
      createjs.Sound.registerSound(src, 'demo');  // register sound, which preloads by default```

This will raise the error that 'Type not recognized'.

Have the same bug.

This is because PreloadJS (which SoundJS under the hood) uses file extensions to automatically determine if a file source is a sound. You can hint to SoundJS/PreloadJS that a file is a sound using type.

createjs.Sound.registerSound({src: src, type:"sound"});

Further, if you have different MP3/OGG sources to support a wider browser list, you can pass an object with extensions a keys to indicated which sources are which file type, since no file extension is present to help out with that.

createjs.Sound.registerSound({src: {mp3: src1, ogg:src2}, type:"sound"});

It might make sense for SoundJS to be a little more permissive when adding string paths, since there is no need to determine the file type to try and load it as a sound. I will leave this open to track that feature.
