At this URL I have HTML5 video and audio elements both set to autoplay but it appears as though only the video is auto-playing.

Clicking on the thumbnails should start up a new video as well as a new audio file but I am only seeing a response from the video element.

This page is being developed in FF 3.6 for now.

Click anywhere on the expository page with the quote to see the problem I'm having.

With Chrome 5.0.375.126 on MacOSX 10.5.8 on my Mac laptop, I can't reproduce the problem -- video and audio both work simultaneously as predicted. Same with FF 3.6.8, same platform; and, I can't see any problem with your page's source code, either.

What exact release of FF 3.6, and on precisely which platform, are you using to reproduce the problem? I wonder if it could be a FF bug (on your specific release/platform combo) in what is, after all, still pretty new functionality (can't expect it to be as stable and robust as older, solidly-developed parts of that generally excellent browser, I guess!).

Thanks Alex, yes looks like there is inconsistent support for what I am trying to do. I do see that in Chrome all is working and in FF 3.6 on Snow Leopard I can't seem to get this to work. I do appreciate you testing it out and responding to my question. Thanks.
