It's not Audio/CMFAudio.  Those are based on File, and just try to call 
whatever generic plugin your browser client uses to play back audio.  
They just feed the audio data to your client.

Currently (unless someone else updated it) Audio only recognizes id3 
version 1 tags, but that only affects cataloging, not the playing of 
the file at all.

I would guess that, unless you have silence in front of your file, what 
you're seeing is a delay of your client loading the plugin to play back 
mp3 format.
