I'm trying to make a web based media player using the HTML5 audio element implemented in Firefox 3.5 and Chrome. Reading Mozillas documentation, omitting the autobuffer attribute should result in the audio src not being requested:
if specified, the audio will automatically begin being downloaded, even if not set to automatically play. This continues until the media cache is full, or the entire audio file has been downloaded, whichever comes first
However, on the server side I notice the files are being requested anyway. My sample page is very simple:
<html>
<body>
<audio src="1.ogg"></audio>
<audio src="2.ogg"></audio>
</body>
</html>
