Opera 43 has now been released on the stable stream, and contains the fix.

Still not fixed , even in the beta. I'm new to Opera, does it normally take this long to fix (what I consider) a major bug? Opera is a nice fast web browser on Mac, but, if you can't use music streaming services, then it's not really working...

Normally fixes are first integrated and tested in our bleeding-edge developer stream (you can download Opera developer from http://www.opera.com/blogs/desktop/ , or read more about our different streams at http://www.opera.com/blogs/desktop/streams/ ). This is what I referred to when I wrote the fix will go through the usual testing sequence before it ends up in Opera stable.

If they're urgent fixes (like this one), they are pushed to our beta stream as soon as they are verified to work in the developer stream, which is why a recent beta (and now the stable version) contain the fix 🙂
