Audio-only record streams DO NOT work in avalon's player in the browser - they just buffer forever. https://avalon.wgbh.org/media_objects/2801pj617 Audio-only record streams DO work in VLC: VLC -> File -> Open Network -> https://avalon.wgbh.org/hls/avalon/22980/barcode37938/PreservationMaster/barcode37938_01.mp4/master.m3u8?token=0d20bd85c074c76ea19dbb9ad4a2b8dd7a82b4c7

Per Phuong:

In spite of the streams working in VLC, the browser player does not support streaming of .wav-based files.

Rebecca tested transcoding a wav record to aac in an mp4 container, and that works! As of today, all of the audio-only records from the original 260 have been thusly transcoded and should work normally.
