I found this issue when using html5 video inside dynamic content such as carousels, to release the blocked sockets you have to unload the video source:

var video = $('#video');
video[0].pause();
video.prop('src','');
video.find('source').remove();
video.remove();

The bug claims to be fixed but I still had to do this on Chrome 42. At least I could still set preload="auto".
