Youtube audio still playing in safari if i watch a video and then i click on the youtube logo top left corner and send me to youtube home page but the audio is still playing
 
Are you using Flash and if so, Flash 13? I have also had this issue a couple of times since updating to the latest flash. Killing the YouTube tab seems to kill it.
 
I also have that happen, but with the ClickToFlash plugin and the HTML5 playback. A simple reload of the website helps me.

Though I use that feature to my advantage, as I can open new videos in the same tab without needing to load them again, and I can just browse the comments, in order to find the bastards among them. Probably because I am one of them. :eek:
 
I've had this happen mostly when using plugins such as ClickToFlash (long ago) or (the HTML5 player) Youtube5. Reloading or closing the page kills the video stream. Maybe it's a Flash issue, I wouldn't know :)
 
Is this a new feature on youtube? I noticed this too. If you are watching a video and then click off of it to the main page, it continues to play in a little box on the bottom right hand side. Can you confirm if this is down there when you are hearing the sound?
