On what version of Firefox did you run this? I've tested 33, 34, 35 and 37 (nightly) on OS X, and 37 and 35 on Windows 8.1, and I don't get crashes anywhere. Can you clarify? Thanks!

I reported on Windows 8.1 testing with Nightly at the time of posting.  I've tested again on Nightly 37 and I can't reproduce it myself any more, it prompts "Audio decode OK". So I guess it's fixed, or maybe it was some other quirk of Nightly at the time that made it crash? Guess you can close this now.
