Let's say I have two audio files. I hooked them up with my javascript.
var audio1 = new Audio();
audio1.src = 'file1';
audio1.load();
var audio2 = new Audio();
audio2.src = 'file2';
audio2.load();
when I play audio1 then play audio2, mobile safari (ios) stops audio1 then plays audio2. It only happens with ios safari.

As far as I'm aware, this is a design decision from Apple, it'S not possible to play more than one audio file.

I did some testing on this recently. The short answer is as stated before, it doesn't work. I tried working with mp3,m4a(aac I purchased on itunes),mp4 and aif, so file format has no bearing on iOS safari's ability to play more than one stream at a time.
I have currently "solved" the issue in my web app by assigning priorities to sounds in the app so it can intelligently interrupt or ignore requests to play a sound file. Maybe you can try something similar.
