[samigo-team] Replacing Java applet with HTML5/Flash

Yeah, I removed the popup closing while I was doing more dev on it.  The
HTML5 recorder offers a timer, Flash fallback, attempt tracking, frequency
display, and only changes a few files in Samigo.  I believe Java on the
desktop is dead.  My recommendation would be to get a replacement intro
trunk sooner than later, but if Stanford is committed to the Java applet,
please let us know so I can get this work into a branch.

MP3 encoding is a patented process AFAIK.  Maybe there is a Flash fallback
to play the WAV in IE.  if not, the Quicktime embed should continue to work
with a little mime-type manipulation.

The Flash version of the recorder creates the same raw, uncompressed audio.
 AFAIK, WAV and AU and AIFF are all the same thing (just different mime
types).  Any audio experts lurking?
