STR:
- Open the attached file in current Safari (Version 15.4 17613.1.17.1.6) or Safari Technology Preview (Release 146, Safari 15.4, WebKit 17614.1.14.10.6). It's also live on a page at https://blog.paul.cx/post/profiling-firefox-real-time-media-workloads/#the-new-solution

Expected:
- It plays

Actual:
- It doesn't play. The console reports: "Failed to load resource: PLugin-in handled load".
- I can reproduce this on both an x86_64 and ARM MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.3.
- Firefox, Chrome and all native media players that I've tested play the file

macOS' system Opus decoder doesn't support more than 2 channels.
