3.2.8 dev always loads muted with some configurations

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have not found out what exactly triggers it, but in some configurations the 
new player always loads muted.

An example can be seen here:
http://flowplayer.blacktrash.org/dev/issue385.html

No matter how often I empty the cache or in which browser I view it, the player 
is always muted on page load.

Can reliably observed for example here:

some freaky thing going on with autobuffering.

looks like it mutes audio when autobuffering as it needs to begin playback and 
pause on the frame once metadata is received. then not enabling mute again.

nice catch, its a small regression in the pseudo plugin it needed to 
re-implement a pause to frame method like with http which had the unmute call 
within that. works when setting a start time and without, as it needs to be 
called in two different places.

A problem in rtmp also.

fixed in rtmp, however it cannot gain access to the volume controller as its 
private thankfully there is a method on the player api itself.

A milder form of this can still be observed in 3.2.9 here:
http://flowplayer.blacktrash.org/test/minimal-pseudo.html
- mute button crossed out during video load
Even here when the video is not cached:
http://flowplayer.blacktrash.org/test/minimal.html

On flowplayer.org it might not be visible because controls autoHide is enabled 
most of the time.

Reopening.

It looks unintentional and clumsy.

march ;)

Nope, it has *not* always been like this, introduced in 3.2.8:
http://flowplayer.blacktrash.org/test/minimal-pseudo.html
with 3.2.7 for comparison.

For the past year since it's had the mute fix, Im not able to track the 
revision down. 

Original comment by dani...@electroteque.org on 13 Apr 2012 at 4:08

just had a look it doesn't have the mute fix hence why it's not doing it I 
suggest the core API be fixed up to allow to mute without actually toggling the 
mute button so needs a different method. Unfortunately the rtmp plugin cannot 
gain access to an internal function so it has to call mute on the player api 
directly. 

Please advise.

Please setup a new ticket if you would like the new feature integrated, it is 
not a bug as its muting the player first on startup. This ticket in particular 
was the changes not carried over to unmute once autobuffering is setup.

I am having the same issue. The video randomly loads with the sound muted, and 
the length of the video not displayed. This happens more often in the IE 9 
browser than the other browsers. Was this issue ever resolved? If so, what was 
the fix?

I am using the latest downloaded FlowPlayer files.

I have attached a screenshot of the video loading properly, and with the video 
loading improperly.
