Summary Removing html5 audio tag keeps downloading resource

When i try to change audio src tag with javascript, the previously set value keeps downloading in the browser. After 5 changes we have 5 parallel downloads in the background, thus preventing the switch. This is a huge issue for audio streams. Does not happen on iOS10. Tested with: iPhone 6 and 6S, iOS 11.0.3 with macOS high sierra debug console. Can be tested: http://jsbin.com/verafojive : network tab clearly shows that iPhone keeps downloading the previous sources. Thanks for any quick fixes too.
