/*
  meSpeakFallback.as
  An experimental fallback option for meSpeak to play wav files
  Wav-files are sent as a plain array of uint 8-bit data via ExternalInterface

  JS interface:
    meSpeakFallback.play( <wav-array> );
    meSpeak.setVolume( value )           // 0 >= value <= 1

  Handshake: calls JS function 'meSpeakFallbackHandshake()', when initialized and ready
