Re: Strange crashes when using media-element

Hey Peter-

I can confirm that I get the same behavior (with Chrome 21.0.1180.41) - but
it doesn't happen when just playing the file, and when I created a simple
test case playing the file through a MediaElementSourceNode, I don't see
any problems.  Can you try reducing the test case down?  I can only image
it's something to do with your connection code, since the creation is
pretty straightforward (and I looked at that).
