The hack was added because the npr.org <audio> player had code that called play() when it got a 'canplay' event. The code was essentially:

NPR.StaticEmbedAudio.audio_player.addEventListener('canplay',function() {
    NPR.StaticEmbedAudio.audio_duration=NPR.StaticEmbedAudio.audio_player.duration;
    NPR.StaticEmbedAudio.updateDuration(NPR.StaticEmbedAudio.audio_duration);
    NPR.StaticEmbedAudio.audio_ready=true;
    NPR.StaticEmbedAudio.audio_player.play();
}, true);

The WebKit changes in r57820 caused the 'canplay' event to be fired when the src attribute was set from JS, which caused all <audio> elements on their site to begin playing automatically. The npr.org player has been changed, so we should remove the code added in r58586.
