Seeking on a chunked HTTP audio stream

Question

In the browser, as well as with the howler.js library, a "Transfer-Encoding": "chunked" audio stream cannot be "seeked," or skipped on.

What I've attempted to do is change from a chunked stream to an identity stream, as well as setting a fixed content length, neither of which has worked. Additionally, I tried an assortment of headers and techniques found in this post which also showed no help.

The important part here is that the audio must be a chunked stream. I'm working on an application where having an audio stream which starts immediately is critical.
