Description Ehsan Akhgari [:ehsan] 2013-02-19 05:42:40 UTC 
This is what the spec currently says:

[NamedConstructor=Audio(),
 NamedConstructor=Audio(DOMString src)]
interface HTMLAudioElement : HTMLMediaElement {};

However, the following equivalent IDL is simpler:

[NamedConstructor=Audio(optional DOMString src)]
interface HTMLAudioElement : HTMLMediaElement {};

Ms2ger, we generally clone (not move) bugs between the HTML WG/HTML5 spec and WHATWG/HTML specs. I'll leave this one here and clone it back to where it started.

Hrm, not sure what WFM means here :)
Comment 3 Ms2ger 2013-04-12 19:18:14 UTC 
The spec currently says:

[NamedConstructor=Audio(optional DOMString src)]

Oh, right, sorry I missed that!

Yeah I mark bugs WORKSFORME when something else resolved the problem (e.g. I fixed another bug, or just ran across it independently or based on some comment someone made in e-mail or IRC or whatever), so as to not imply that there's a specific patch that one can look for which I made for this bug specifically (which is what I use FIXED for generally).
