My beaf with javascript is whenever it's used with multimedia there's a better chance something will crash. broadcasturban.com is a good example of a site which uses javascript to launch their media player and which crashes your computer. These are sites where the multimedia launches in your browser and not in a seperate controllable player window. I would think if you want something to work you should introduce less not more room for error.
