Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
If an audio tag contains the option "controls" and doesn't contain the option "autobuffer", the streaming doesn't work - it stops after a few seconds and nothing happens.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the reference page http://
2. Try the first test case "With autobuffer:" - the playback works
3. Try the second test case "Without autobuffer:" - the playback doesn't work
Reproducible: Always
Another issue: in cases it works (with autobuffer or locally as a file): if you press
pause (during playback) and then press play again - it doesn't work any more,
only after a page refresh.
Remarks:
- only with ogg tested
- the web server returns the mime type "application/ogg" (reference page)
- if you store the reference page locally and opens as a file, everything works
- Ubuntu: Firefox 3.5.7 in safe mode is affected too
- Ubuntu: Firefox 3.6 latest beta from ppa is affected too
- Windows XP is not affected: Firefox 3.5.7, Gecko/20091221
Upstream bug report: https:/
But it's probably a Linux/Ubuntu bug as it works on Windows.

Strange: I have updated the ogg file on the reference page (changed size to 124KB) and it worked! Then I have changed it back to 255 KB and it didn't work. After that I added the third test case "without autobuffer and 124KB" and it didn't work any more... Finally I have removed this third test. (I deleted cache in the firefox - no affect)
