Howler.js: First load of audio causes it to play twice if invoking .play().

1) Clear your Chrome cache.
2) Play an audio file. (mp3 in my case, and autoplay set to true)
3) Run play on it... it will play twice.

This only happens on first load.

Workaround: run .pause (), then .play ().

This is not a bug since a Howl is meant to play more than one sound at a time. The API for this is made more clear in the upcoming 2.0 release.

I am experiencing the same issue. This plays the audio twice, slightly overlapped:
const audio = new Howl({
src: src,
autoplay: false,
loop: false,
pool: 1,
volume: 0.3
});

    audio.once('load', () => {
        console.log('loaded');
        audio.play();
    });

Very basic, so no idea why... And the console only logs 'loaded' once.
