bogus user gesture error message

Reported by pdk...@gmail.com, Dec 20 2016 
Example URL:
http://www.metopera.org/Season/On-Demand/opera/?upc=811357016848

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Visit URL.
2. Tap ▶ button to play free sample.

What is the expected behavior?
It plays.

What went wrong?
Failed to execute 'play' on 'HTMLMediaElement': API can only be initiated by a user gesture.
Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: play() can only be initiated by a user gesture.

Did this work before? N/A 

Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? HTML5

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 56.0.2924.18  Channel: beta
OS Version: M
Flash Version: 

Contents of chrome://gpu: 

Now I can be mistaken, but tapping the button is a rather explicit user gesture, I think. Enabling #disable-gesture-requirement-for-media-playback in chrome://flags makes it work.

I have a similar problem.
It seems to be related to "mousedown" or other mouse events generated automatically by touches.

For example, if you touch a button it will generate a "touchstart", several other touch events, and also a "mousedown" event. If you attach your code only to the "mousedown" event it is WRONGLY considered not user initiated.
