As of now, there’s not a way to manage this as it requires a certain amount of time before the player loads (for technical reasons).
This is something that I do want to improve. As soon as I make some progress, I’ll definitely be sure to update it.
Wish I had better news, but hopefully it helps to know that I’m aware of it and am working on it :).

Hi Tom…
Just wondering if there has been any progress on the above question. I have seen on other people’s sites that their wpaudio player does indeed load before the images so i am just wondering how they managed to do this?
Hello Tomek,
I had a problem also preload the player in FF. I think I found the problem, we must force the preload has “auto” in the shortcode. And it works for me.
Example: [audio preload="auto" mp3="http://www.website.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/my-song.mp3"][/audio]
Tom thank you for your great plugin. good luck
Ben

hey hey man, late reply – i know, but i can’t quite seem to get it right>
Hi,
You use the shortcode? If yes, add preload=”auto” in the audio tag like the example above.

My shortcode is slightly different, I tried to place the “auto” but it didn’t work…
here’s mine:
[audio:http://tomekphotography.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/01-How-the-Day-Sounds.lite_.mp3|titles=05 Atlas Hands/|loop=yes]
I do not know then, but try something like this:
[audio preload="auto" mp3="http://tomekphotography.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/01-How-the-Day-Sounds.lite_.mp3" titles="05 Atlas Hands" loop="yes"][/audio]
