Clone Audio object

Question

I am aware of how to clone an object, but I'm wondering, how do I clone an audio object? Should I clone it differently than I would clone an object?

To "illustrate" what I mean:

var audio = new Audio("file.mp3");
var audio2 = $.extend({}, audio); // Clones `audio`

Is this the correct way to do this?

Reason why I'm asking this is that I want to be able to play the same sound multiple times simultaneously.

Answer 1

I had exactly the same predicament as originally raised. The following worked perfectly well for me :

var audio2 = audio.cloneNode();
