Guest uploading audio file - audio cannot be played back in editor prior to submission

[Nathan Explosion]

This is just an observation I made while working on this - initially thinking it was a bug in my own application, I've gone back and tested it out further and it's reproducible in the vanilla code.

Note: I'm not requesting or expecting a fix, and the scenario where this is observed is not something I would expect someone to have in place on a live site.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Allow your guests group to post content
2. Allow your guests group to upload attachments
3. Set 'Allowed file types' to 'All files' (alternatively, set 'Allowed file extensions' to allow the upload of video file extensions such as mp3, and audio file extensions such as mp3 or wav)
4. Access site as a Guest and create a topic
5. Upload a video file and an audio file in the editor
6. Click the uploaded files so they are added to the editor
7. Click the Play button on the video player- video plays
8. Click the Play button on the audio player - audio doesn't play (in Firefox, you can click the Play button but nothing is heard; in Chrome, the Play button is greyed out)
9. Submit the topic
10. Still as a guest, view the topic - click the Play button on the video player- video plays
11. Still as a guest, view the topic - click the Play button on the audio player - audio plays

Is this 'only' happening with guests? Will have a test if so and get this reported in our bug tracker

It's a guests behaviour, as I indicated...

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.
