Our blocking of autoplay of audible videos is trivial to defeat:

STR, create a web page that:
1. Load a video.
2. Set video.volume = 0, or video.mute = true
3. call video.play(). Under autoplay policy the video should play without user gesture as it's inaudible.
4. set video.volume = 1.0, or video.mute = false.
5. Voila! Audible video is auto playing.

We should probably check to see whether the media is allowed to autoplay audibly when setting volume!=0 or !muted and pause() the video if its not allowed.
Priority: -- → P3
We should consider doing do the reverse too; if a video has an autoplay attribute and is audible and is subsequently muted, maybe we should start playback?
