Details

Following up from bug 1749804, we can investigate if we still need the rate limiting mechanism for feeding the Widevine CDM data. In bug 1718223 a pref was implemented to allow for the rate to be controlled by pref (media.eme.max-throughput-ms). Historically this throttling was needed to prevent issues with playback (see bug 1338924), but it's possible the CDM is now handling the throttling internally and we don't need to do our own limits.

We should investigate and remove the limits if they're no longer needed.
