Stops playing in background in Safari #29

After some amount of time in the background, in a different tab specifically, swells stop playing and eventually everything stops. Occasionally sounds will play but it seems random.

Safari 10.0 (12602.1.50.0.10) on macOS Sierra 10.12

Works for me...

Safari automatically throttles background tabs to reduce power consumption and memory use, gradually over time. They added it back in Mavericks. You'll notice similar behavior if you keep the tab open, but hide Safari (completely) behind a foreground window or in the Dock. If you restore Safari and/or the tab to the foreground it should pick back up where it left off. Unfortunately I don't believe there's any thing developers can do to override that functionality.

ok, thanks I'll probably use helium for this
