Comment:

 Ok, so the problem as @joedolson commented, is that Safari seems to have
 troubles with `source`

 > If the element does not have a src attribute: zero or more source
 elements, then zero or more track elements, then transparent, but with no
 media element descendants.

 I wonder if with some testing under different conditions and type
 switching this patch may cause some trouble.
