Thanks Justin, Looks like we've got ourselves a very excellent confirmation here. This will especially be useful to newbe users of Macs; because, now, they won't need to struggle as we did to find the mouse method for playing audible samples. That click to flash extension sure looks to me like it's more than proving its worth. just one small detail. I'd recommend setting it to buffer but not play automatically. Otherwise, every single sample on any audible page will start playing at the same time.

Either way, this is excellent news.
