1033054 - Keyboard click sound fails on first key tap

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1060879

(Core :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

When you enable the click sound in the Gaia keyboard on Flame, (and I think I remember this from earlier hardware too but I could be wrong) and open an app with a text field (I used the Marketplace app) and type in that field, the first key entered doesn't get a click. Keys pressed after that do click but the first one fails. 

Steps:
1. Settings -> Keyboards -> Built-in Keyboard
2. Check the "Click sound" box
3. Launch Marketplace and tap the search box.
4. type "qwerty" and notice that the "q" has no sound while the "werty" keys each make a sound. 

Expected results: the click happens on the first pressed keyboard character. 

Because this is not enabled by default, I presume it's not a priority, but for anyone who does enable it, this is ugly. I actually like the click sound but cannot stand the feeling of error I get when it doesn't click the first time so I've had to disable it.

This happens on 1.3 and latest 2.1 nightly.

I could reproduce this on Flame with the latest master,

However, from Gaia perspective, we did invoke play() function,

Besides, I could not reproduce this on Buri, so I would suspect this is a underlying platform issue.

It seems the patch in bug 1060879 could solve this issue, so dupe to that bug.
