The video player includes a position slider/seek bar. Audio doesn't. An example use case for a slider is the user rewinding a little bit to hear a segment that they missed the first time. Examples of both https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Timed_Text_Demo_Page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Listen A related problem is that when the parameter end=10:00 is added, the audio stops at that position, but the player will continue to play from 10:00. The user can't go back to the beginning to play the same segment again. See https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:Ian_Charlton.ogg/1
Note that the standard <audio> player in Firefox and Chrome has this feature; the mediawiki player does not.
Perviously the audio player would take up the target size and display a playhead if it could. Somehow its no longer respecting the width provided. We should fix.
