Pre-load audio file via XMLHttpRequest

I am currently trying to pre-load an MP3 file via an XMLHttpRequest in the browser and play it in the audio player. The audio file is played when set directly in the player. Therefore, I must have an error when processing the response. 

loadAudio : function(playerId, source) {
    var player = document.getElementById(playerId);
    var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
    request.onreadystatechange = function() {
        console.log('readyState: ' + request.readyState + ', status: ' + request.status)
        if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
            console.log(request.getAllResponseHeaders());
            var blob = new Blob( [request.response] );
            var url = URL.createObjectURL( blob );
            player.src = url;
            player.addEventListener('loaded', function(e) {
                URL.revokeObjectURL(player.src);
            });
            player.play();
        // Typical action to be performed when the document is ready:
        }
    };
    request.open("GET", source, true);
    request.send();
}

I receive the following error message:

DEMUXER_ERROR_COULD_NOT_OPEN: FFmpegDemuxer: open context failed (code 4)

Does anyone have any idea where to find the error? Thank you for your answers.

You can try setting the response type in your ajax request to blob. 

loadAudio : function(playerId, source) {
    var player = document.getElementById(playerId);
    var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
    request.onreadystatechange = function() {
        console.log('readyState: ' + request.readyState + ', status: ' + request.status)
        if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
            var url = URL.createObjectURL( request.response);
            player.src = url;
            player.addEventListener('loaded', function(e) {
                URL.revokeObjectURL(player.src);
            });
            player.play();
        // Typical action to be performed when the document is ready:
        }
    };
    request.open("GET", source, true);
    request.responseType = 'blob';
    request.send();
}

Try this:

var blob = new Blob( [ request.response], { type: "audio/mp3" } );
var url = null;

if ( window.webkitURL ) {
    url = window.webkitURL.createObjectURL(blob);
} else if ( window.URL && window.URL.createObjectURL ) {
    url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
}
player.addEventListener('loaded', function(e) {
    URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
});
player.addEventListener('load', function(e) {
    URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
});
player.src = url;
