Highlighting HTMLElement in HTMLAudioElement

Question

I have this typescript line:

var audio: HTMLAudioElement = document.getElementById("audioElement");

However, I am getting a build error:

Type HTMLElement is not assignable to type 'HTMLAudioElement'.

Is there any other way to get the element as HTMLAudioElement or just pass it to HTMLAudioElement?

The typescript sutras look like this:

var audio = <HTMLAudioElement>document.getElementById("audioElement");

And you can specify the type of the audio variable if you like, but typescript will pick it up for you automatically.
