Comment 3

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

ok.. so on linux..

works fine here on mac and windows.

What version of libavcodec do you have installed?

Comment 4

[harrymarwa]

It is not working in mac,windows and linux for firefox.

Comment 5

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

then please try firefox nightly, so we can identify what fixed it.

Comment 6

[Blake Wu [:bwu][:blakewu]]

It works well on the latest nightly, beta, and release version (53.0.3 (64 bit)) on my mac.

Comment 7

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

WFM with current release (53.0.3) and nightly on both Win 10 and Ubuntu 17.04.

Comment 8

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

The steps I use to reproduce the issue is simply clicking on the attachment.

Comment 9

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

I can reproduce using an html page and an audio element
https://people-mozilla.org/~jyavenard/tests/audio.html

Comment 10

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

When using a media element, it incorrectly detect it as WAV and is using the WAV demuxer instead of the MP3 one

Comment 11

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

Ah, the file starts with:

RIFF....WAVEfmt

This is no valid MP3.

(structure of a MP3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#File_structure)

it should start with a sync word 0xFFFB

It works as file directly because the sniffer isn't used, instead it relies on the file extension.
