media-source-buffer stays silent on Safari, unless this line is added (and the permission to use microphone is granted):

navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ audio: true, video: false });

I could not figure out whether this is a bug on Safari, or is it an undocumented behavior.

At the time of writing, Safari support is just terrible

First of all, Safari needs the permission to access microphone even to
process <audio> elements. Even with the permission granted, there are
clicks and pops and generally sluggish experience. Microphone source
seems to work alright, however.

There are multiple known bugs in createMediaElementSource()
implementation of Safari; maybe when these are fixed it will work
properly:

In the meanwhile, the workaround is to ask for microphone permission and
hope for the best:

Worth mentioning: even with the microphone permission granted, the sound clicks and pops so it is overall barely usable. These are known bugs, possibly unrelated to the permission: https://bugs.webkit.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=createMediaElementSource
