I have an <audio> element in a webpage. I’m happy to use the native browser controls, which are fine in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome for the Mac.

I realise my Mac’s a couple of versions forward (it’s on the dev channel) but this seems like a surprising issue. Any idea how to fix it?

Alternatively, can anyone recommend a completely painless player (with flash fallback) that I can drop it to style them all the same?
