How do I get my HTML5 audio tag to work in Firefox 7.0.1, currently it doesn't even display the alternate text when the player cannot play.

This is my implementation of the audio tag. 

<div class="music_player" oncontextmenu="return false;">
  <audio autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls" preload="auto">
    <source src="sample.ogg" />
    <source src="sample.mp3" />
    <span id="audio_error">This website has an audio sample, but cannot play using this browser.
      </span>
  </audio>
</div>

Make sure that the server sends the ogg file with a supported MIME type.
