title: Autoplay not working in mediaelement.js
body: <p>I am trying to get mediaplayer.js to autoplay. Autoplay works perfect with the native audio tags but as soon as I implement the mediaelement java script the player works and looks great but will not autoplay anymore.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried various javascript answers, none of which have worked and I have tried changing the autoplay="true" to auto or autoplay or... nothing works. I can't find anything about it on google either. There is a lot about wordpress but none of that seems to apply to non-wordpress scenarios.</p>
  
  <p>The article "Autoplay MediaElementPlayer" said there was a solution but it failed to work for me.</p>
  
  <p>This is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;audio controls="controls" autoplay="true"&gt; 
      &lt;source src="music/male.ogg" type="audio/ogg" /&gt; &lt;!--change song here for FF--&gt;
      &lt;source src="music/male.m4a" type="audio/mpeg" /&gt;&lt;!--change song here for webkit--&gt;
  &lt;/audio&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried it in every browser too with no results: IE, Opera, FF, Chrome, Safari etc.</p>
  
  <p>Everything works great except it will not autoplay anymore once the mediaelement javascript works. This is a simple feature of the audio tag. I've tried to implement autoplay in the provided demos and it will not work there either. </p>
  
  <p>Any help would be great, thanks!</p>
  
  <p>I know some might think autoplay is not good practice but my client wants it.</p>
