SoundCloud Custom Player Not Playing Until Paused and Resumed on Mobile Browsers

Question

There seems to be an issue with the SoundCloud SDK when used on any mobile browsers. The track doesn't play until I pause and then resume.

SC.stream(trackInfo.url,function(sound){
    sound.play();
});

Is this a known issue/behavior? I first thought it's an issue with Android, but I got the same behavior when tested on an iPhone.

EDITED

I thought this might be an async loading issue, but even if I don't call sound.play() right away and have it triggered by user clicking play, it still doesn't work. I have to call play > pause > resume. The good news is that once user take these actions, all subsequent tracks in the custom playlist (non-SoundCloud) can continuously play without any user having to take any actions.

Answer 1

Ok, it seems like the issue is the async loading after more testing. User has to explicitly click play after it's loaded. I got a little thrown off before because there was an unrelated issue that was causing the pause/resume effect. Once user has triggered the action, it's able to play all tracks without any further action from user.
