AbortError: The fetching process for the media resource was aborted by the user agent at the user's request.

[baharev]

Every now and then, when I cancel the currently playing audio in Firefox, I get an:

AbortError: The fetching process for the media resource was aborted by the user agent at the user's request.

on this line of the html5Unload function:

https://github.com/scottschiller/SoundManager2/blob/f432aa9ed96a0f9022e72fc4a1b977ba0643ed71/script/soundmanager2.js#L4195

Note that the comments within that function talk a lot about Firefox in particular.

It is a difficult to reproduce issue because it is flaky when this happens. Unfortunately, it happens often enough to be disturbing.

The problem is that I have difficulties catching that AbortError in React.

That AbortError is probably not expected by the SoundManager2 code either: There is still clean up code below that line that will never be executed, leaving SoundManager2 in an inconsistent state.

How can I catch this error in react-sound?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
