## Summary - Audio (and video) sounds broken/choppy on first play in the studio preview, but works fine on second play - Root cause: `<audio>` elements default to `preload="metadata"`, which only fetches enough data to determine duration — not enough for smooth playback. When `el.play()` fires, the browser hasn't buffered the audio data yet - The runtime now eagerly sets `preload="auto"` and calls `load()` during init, ensuring media is fully buffered before the user clicks play - `syncRuntimeMedia` now defers `play()` on unbuffered media by registering a `canplay` listener, instead of silently swallowing the failure ## Testing Verified with agent-browser against a 26s narration composition (soulscape-film): ``` # After fix — audio element state at init: preload: "auto" readyState: 4 (HAVE_ENOUGH_DATA) buffered: 26.07s (entire file) duration: 26.07s ``` Audio is fully buffered before any play attempt, so first-play works identically to subsequent plays. ## Files changed - `packages/core/src/runtime/init.ts` — set `preload="auto"` + `load()` in `bindMediaMetadataListeners` - `packages/core/src/runtime/media.ts` — defer `play()` on unbuffered media via `canplay` listener - `packages/core/src/runtime/media.test.ts` — updated test + added unbuffered media test case
