The audio demo, "mediaelementplayer-audio.html", only plays properly in Safari on OS X and IOS. It doesn't play in any version of Firefox, Opera nor in IE 8. Symptoms in FF are a greyed out box with "X" inside.

As the demo online at mediaelementjs.com does work fine in all of these browsers it seems the audio demo is incomplete as is the instructions for setting up a multiple browser audio demo. How are we supposed to set things up? Multiple audio files? The instructions leaves us in the dark, as audio isn't addressed.

I tried to download all the files of the first page in order to analyze what is different, but surprisingly also the downloaded files only work in Safari. I will keep investigating this, but I'm thankful for pointers or solutions from anyone.
