There is a delay before a sound is played in safari

There is a pretty significant delay before a sound is played in OS X safari. There is true regardless of the sound format (i've tried MP3, aiff, and wav). This is not an issue unique to buzz. I've experienced it with ng-audio as well. A little google-foo indicated that it is also an issue with SoundManager2, however there is a work around when using that library.

It may be worth while to look at lowLag audio.
