Unlike video, audio elements for background music may be invisible.

Click-to-play for an invisible item is difficult.
Simply, I seem using doorhanger may be suitable.

I'd like to work on this bug. Since I'm new and this would be my first bug, I will need instructions on how to go about it. :)

I offered to mentor the original bug 944876. I don't think it makes sense to fix this bug without first fixing that one. And tab muting might be the better way to handle this in general.
