Description

Can't play files using file system URL, same returned by FileEntry.toURL().

Plugin returns error:

Cannot use audio file from resource file:///var/mobile/...

Tested on iOS 7.1.2 and 9.0.2

Cordova iOS version:  3.9.2

Plugin versions:

Plugin works well with full absolute path and cdvfile path btw.
