AbortError: The fetching process for the media resource was aborted by the user agent at the user's request.

[baharev]

I am using SoundManager2 through react-sound. Every now and then, when I cancel the currently playing audio in Firefox, I get an:

AbortError: The fetching process for the media resource was aborted by the user agent at the user's request.

on this line of the html5Unload function:

SoundManager2/script/soundmanager2.js

Line 4195 in f432aa9

oAudio.src = url;

Note that the comments within that function talk a lot about Firefox in particular.

It is a difficult to reproduce issue because it is flaky when this happens. Unfortunately, it happens often enough to be disturbing.

The problem is that I have difficulties catching that AbortError in react-sound.

That AbortError is probably not expected by the SoundManager2 code either: There is still clean up code below that line that will never be executed, leaving SoundManager2 in an inconsistent state.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
