Comment (by ericmulder):

 Thank you very much for validating and reproducing the bug. To clarify,
 when you use the wp-mediaelement packages the problem doesn't occur since
 that js package adds the src element to the <audio> tag. We found the
 issue using an in-app browser in our app on iOS (which apparently doesn't
 load the wp-mediaelement)

 Good to see that the patch works, please take into account this is a
 hotfix from our side to not tinker with the WP core code and use a filter.
 I believe the pull request will be the permanent fix for this issue:
