Comment:

 Because [https://html.spec.whatwg.org/dev/media.html#the-audio-element the
 content model for the `audio` element] is specified as requiring *either*
 a `src` attribute or a `source` element child, I'm somewhat concerned this
 could cause problems for source type switching, and am hesitant to commit
 it this late in the cycle.

 Moving to 6.9 so it can be more thoroughly checked.
