Details

This is a followup to bug 838331 and bug 841239, which fixed this issue for Firefox OS and Windows, respectively. :cpearce has said we'll need to fix it separately on each affected platform, so I'm filing bugs for each.

I don't know if we support MP3 on Mac yet, but presumably we're working on it.

At any rate, the issue is that (new Audio()).canPlayType('audio/mpeg; codecs="mp3"') should return "probably", whereas it currently returns "". See bug 838331 for more info.
