Comment (by tollmanz):

 According to the mediaelement.js website, Firefox is supported with Flash.
 I have installed Flash on OS X and nothing renders for the audio. Using
 the same shortcode and rendered HTML, the JS renders the following with
 Flash installed:

 {{{
 <div style="width: 400px; height: 30px;" id="mep_0" class="mejs-container
 svg wp-audio-shortcode mejs-audio">
         <div class="mejs-inner">
                 <div class="mejs-mediaelement">
                         <audio style="display: none;" class="wp-audio-
 shortcode" id="audio-1396-1" preload="none">
                                 <source type="audio/mpeg"
 src="http://wptrunk.dev/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/13-Soul-Calibur-1.mp3">
                                 <a href="http://wptrunk.dev/wp-
 content/uploads/2013/07/13-Soul-Calibur-1.mp3">http://wptrunk.dev/wp-
 content/uploads/2013/07/13-Soul-Calibur-1.mp3</a>
                         </audio>
                 </div>
                 <div class="mejs-layers"></div>
                 <div class="mejs-controls"></div>
                 <div class="mejs-clear"></div>
         </div>
 </div>
 }}}

 Image of the issue is forthcoming.

 I get the same error as reported above:

 > [02:11:02.501] Specified "type" attribute of "audio/mpeg" is not
 supported. Load of media resource ​http://wptrunk.dev/wp-
 content/uploads/2013/07/13-Soul-Calibur-1.mp3 failed. @
 ​http://wptrunk.dev/index.php/testing-audio/

 According to a [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4923136/why-doesnt-
 firefox-support-mp3-file-format-in-audio StackExchange discussion],
 Firefox should natively support MP3s in v21+.
