- R856:d637f92040c3: Add hack to unbreak audio playback through pure JS via new Audio()
Google translate works again and so does https://www.radio.net/s/cinemix for which I originally added this.
Can also control them via p-b-i

I'm not sure why this is necessary - during new Audio the created object can't play anything by itself as src is not set.
If just doing createdAudio.paused = false after the removeChild is not enough, is that because the DOM modifications are queued and executed after the audio started playing?
Here I can let google translate speak and play the radio just fine, but neither of them are visible to pbi. So race condition, browser differences or bug?

Looks like a recent policy change in Chrome, only my Chrome 74 seems affected and I recall it working half a year ago when I implemented this feature.
