I'm trying to use the mediaelemntjs plugin for joomla to play audio (mp3) only and have a problem that I haven't been able to find an answer to. I know too little to know if it is a bug.

I've got it installed to test at http://www.variation-design.de/test01/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=58 It works great in everything except IE8 and lower. That looks like the Flash-Fallback isn't kicking in. In my article I have
{pb_mediael media=[audio] audio_mp3=[http://www.deebaker.com/NewSite/audio/alien_utterances.mp3]}
Does there need to be a parameter for the Flash-Fallback? I've tried a lot of combinations but can't get it to work. In FF and Opera the fallback is working. I'm starting to get desperate. Thanks for any help!
