Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create an <audio> note and set the src to a large, valid file.
2. Invalidate the file server-side so that any further requests for it return an HTTP error (ie 403).
3. Do something that will cause the audio node to make a new request for its source, like seeking outside of the buffered range.

What is the expected behavior?
The audio node should throw an error event much sooner on HTTP 400/500.

What went wrong?
The audio node retries the request, which now 400s every time, many times (I've seen it retry 31 times) before throwing an error event.

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Seems to be N/A on FireFox, or at least harder to reproduce since it downloads the entire file as fast as possible. Chrome only downloads a few MB at a time so its easy to trigger by seeking.
