Perplexing! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download http://dingoskidneys.com/~dholth/audio/00013.ogg (lighttpd) 2.Serve on Cherokee 0.99.10 in its default configuration (I do not have a public Cherokee web server, sorry) 3.Visit with Firefox 3.1.5 4.No playback Compare with 00014.ogg (30kB, works); 00016.ogg (14k) is also broken. Expected Results: I expected to hear something or at least get an error event from the DOM.
Can you download the file with no error? Have you tried safe mode?
I tried safe mode and I tried asking the IRC channel to play the same file. The small files did not play in either case. A Firefox 3.6 build fixed the problem for one tester.
Summary: Firefox 3.1.5 cannot play back very small ogg/vorbis files served by cherokee → Firefox 3.5 cannot play back very small ogg/vorbis files served by cherokee
I can download the file with no error and the files are identical from both servers according to diff. The MIME type is either application/ogg or audio/ogg. Clearing the browser cache and restarting the browser after reconfiguring Cherokee to use the other MIME type does not fix the problem.
looks like a dupe of bug 501545

May be a dupe. I'm not really sure why FF can't play only some of my files. Try this fun demo: http://dingoskidneys.com/~dholth/clock/ It should play all the digits from 0-10 in succession but it skips most of them. No real talking clock until the <audio> tag works, sorry. All the oggs were encoded at the same time with oggenc *.wav, ogg123 plays them back fine and so on. They are smaller in kb than the other files I was playing with.
This sounds like a duplicate of bug 501708. That one is fixed. So please confirm and close this one.
Downloaded the Win32 .exe installer from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ this morning and it's still broken. For example, it can't play this file. http://dingoskidneys.com/~dholth/clock/digits/1.ogg No sound in FF Plays fine in e.g. VLC, Chrome. (Chrome can't play the whole page, but that may just be a bug in my JavaScript). Forget what I said about Cherokee. It looks like the web server doesn't make any difference.
