以下代码相比stackoverflow添加了一个延时，否则无法正常播放，官方文档并没有相关过多说明，不理解具体原因

  var player = videojs('example-video');

  player.ready(function() {

     var _this = this

     //速率

     var playbackRate = $("#playbackRate").val();

     var speed = parseFloat(playbackRate);

         setTimeout(function() {

           _this.playbackRate(speed);

        },20);

   });
...
player.play();

$("#playbackRate").change(function(){
    var speed = $(this).val();
    $("#playbackRateLabel").text("x"+speed+"倍速");
});

<audio id=example-video preload="auto" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" type="audio/wav" hidden="hidden">

<input type="range" min="0.5" max="2" value="1" id="playbackRate" step="0.5"/><span id="playbackRateLabel">×1</span>
