Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit page 2. Make sure audio is not muted 3. Refresh page Actual Results: Rereshing a page with an embedded audio file on Mac OS X causes a spinning beach ball cursor, the system slows down and the browser becomes unresponsive and the process needs to be killed.
