Audio media has no source for external audio files in html5 audio tag

[Klap-in]

The function media_alternativefiles() does not recognize external urls, it assumes everything is a media id, so no source files are given for an external media source. https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/blob/master/inc/media.php#L2177

Called from _audio() https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/blob/master/inc/parser/xhtml.php#L1682

Probably same issue for videos displayed with html5 video tag.

is there any temp patch for this?

A workaround is displaying the file as only a link, e.g.:

{{http://example.com/audio.mp3?linkonly|Audio file as link}}

Now I insert html codes into page to generate a html5 player which is some inconvenient...
