Testing on stock Nexus One w/ stock browser (both 2.3.6), XOOM tablet and ASUS Transformer Tablet (both Android 3.2.1), on project site (html5media.info):

This concerns audio player only.

Android 2.3.6 (Nexus One):
Audio player appears with (from l to r) play button, progress bar, rewind button, fast forward button. Pressing the play button (single triangle) does not initiate audio playback; nothing happens. Pressing the 'fast forward' button (double triangles) starts audio. progress bar begins moving, and play button changes to pause button. Subsequently, pressing the pause button does pause the audio and changes the button back into a play button, but, again, pressing play does nothing and pressing FF resumes audio playback.

Android 3.2.1 (XOOM and Transformer):
Audio player appears with play button and progress bar only. Pressing the play button does not initiate audio playback; nothing happens. Pressing the slider on the progress bar starts the audio. As above, pause works, but must press slider again to resume audio playback.
