The example below plays almost instantly if I click on play as soon as possible when page is loaded, in Firefox. But in Chrome the playback will take about 4 seconds before playing sound. Why is it so and what can I do to speed this up in Chrome?
The audio source is an mp3 stream streaming from an Icecast server.
