I know the html5 audio stuff is all very new, but is there a way to change the left/right balance on a sound?

Something like this:

var snd = new Audio("test.mp3");
snd.balance = -1; // only left

It seemes, that channel balance isn't supported at all in html audio tag. –  kirilloid Feb 26 '11 at 0:01

Currently, this is not supported.

You can check the w3c spec for supported properties and methods. Note that browsers often provide more / less or different things. But in this case: no browser supports audio balance changes.
