I assume you're referring to http://podcastone.com/Steve-Austin-Show?

Note: with the Fennec UA, I get an error (which repros on Desktop with spoofed UA):

Since they're serving the desktop site to FxOS, you can reproduce the error in desktop by disabling flash:

There's an html5 audio fallback, but it's not working. Unsure why ATM.

...
src: "http://www.PodcastOne.com/images/flash/player/flowplayer.commercial-3.1.5.swf",
		 onFail: function() {
			ele.innerHTML='<audio src="' + html5URL + '" controls="controls" style="display:block; width:' + width +'; padding:0px 0px 5px;"></audio>';                                
		 },
...

[Derek Harris [:DerekH] - Dont need info. Last day 6/5/15]

not nominating to block, as this is a tech evangelism bug

Comment 7

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

document.getElementsByTagName('audio')[0].play() starts the audio, so I can only assume that it's something about the styling of (other elements in?) the page that makes the audio element's controls unclickable.

Closing as we are not working on Firefox OS anymore.
