If the audio resource is cross-origin, then this was an intentional change for bug 1762078.

With bug 1465074 and bug 1733981 open, "fetch" events were of limited value for HTMLMediaElement, though they might plausibly have still been useful for short audio elements in some situations because non-range 200 OK responses were accepted.

HTMLMediaElement provides fallback mechanisms through the [source](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/embedded-content.html#the-source-element) element.

Do you know whether the "fetch" event was supporting a use case that could not be similarly supported through `source` elements?
