Extremely annoying audio bug

I spent the last hour narrowing down this bug... extremely annoying.

Problem Description

Audio files over 3 minutes in size delay the sound effects from playing

Description of Capx

I've made the CAPX pretty self explanitory.... essentially you run it, and it'll tell you exactly how to re-produce.

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• On startup, play an audio file that's over 3 minutes in length in a loop.
• While playing, attempt to play a sound effect... the sound effects won't play* *- They eventually play, once you wait the delay period. The delay period varies depending on how far past 3:00 you go. if the length is 3:05, you'll wait 5 seconds... etc. In my demo, I have a 3:30 length music file... so it'll delay for 30 seconds.

Observed Result

No sound effects play.

Expected Result

Sound effects should play.

Can someone please acknowledge that I'm not losing my mind? Is everyone out there really only using less than 3 minutes for music in their game in a loop? That seems extremely short to me... perhaps I'm wrong?

I know it's annoying.

But if you add a system.on.layout.start > play.sound.squish it fixes the issue.

Hope this helps

Can't reproduce in Firefox, looks like a Chrome specific issue. You might want to report it to Google. Also this sounds like a previous report we had where it doesn't occur after export, it's only a preview-time limitation.
