New audio player has limited functionality in Safari #14462

Description

Expected behaviour

Basic audio player functionality would work on all modern browsers.

Actual behaviour

In Safari, audio loads as expected but elements of the audio player are not functioning.

Working:

  • Audio
  • Play/pause control
  • Mute/unmute control
  • Volume control

Not working:

  • Progress/position control
  • Visualisation
  • Timecode (remains at 0:00)

In a current build of Google Chrome, the player functions as expected.

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. Open a Mastodon instance in Safari
  2. Post or view an audio file
  3. Play the audio file

Specifications

Found using:

Mastodon v3.2.0 running on mas.to
Safari v13.1.1
Chrome v84.0.4147.105

I appreciate this is likely a browser compatibility issue rather than an issue with the Mastodon codebase.
