Opus playback is still experimental in Chromium. In Chromium 29 (and possibly a few versions earlier), you can enable experimental Opus playback support through the about:flags page or using the --enable- opus-playback flag.

This can be confusing since some detection scripts look for maybe or probably and use that response as the browser supporting that codec. I have chromium-codecs-ffpeg-extra installed and I don't know if the Opus support is waiting to be integrated by Google themselves or if it is dependent on the ffmpeg tied to the Chromium browser in Ubuntu. If Google isn't having Opus support until a later version, is there any idea when it will be? If it is not possible with versions of Chromium suppored on Lucid and up, why is it reporting as "maybe" ?
