Could you please attach a reduced testcase to this bug so it is on file incase that test disappears?

I don't think there's anything special about the particular testcase.

<audio src="..." height="0" width="0" controls>
vs.
<video src="..." height="0" width="0" controls>

I'd guess this a combination of how the XUL bits determine their width, and the timing of when when we decide to show or hide them, but I haven't had a chance to look at it in detail yet.

This is because that audio element does not have width and height attributes. If you want to set width and height of audio element, you can use CSS style width and height like this:

<audio src="..." style="width: 0px; height: 0px"/>

As long as the spec doesn't allow this attributes for <audio>, this bug is INVALID.

A different bug is: It doesn't work with CSS width:0; height:0; as well.
