           Summary: Sound doesn't play with native player on Wikipedia
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wilhelm_scream
                    &oldid=261089324
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ap at webkit.org


Steps to reproduce:
1. Open
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wilhelm_scream&oldid=261089324
2. Click Play button (Wilhelm scream).
3. If sound played, click "More.." link beneath the player and switch to
"Native browser support".

Results: an audio element control appears, but clicking on its control doesn't
have any effect.

The problem is that the sound is in Ogg format, which is not supported by
WebKit/QuickTime on Mac OS X. There should be a better indication of failure
than a silent malfunction - compare e.g. to what happens in Firefox.
