Re: Browser Control Over Streaming Media

Best we can do immediately is list the tabs that are using Flash or the
video or audio tags. That would be an imperfect list but pretty close.

Could be prototyped as an add-on.

Something like this is a common wish-list item, as is a way of telling all
media to not restart when the session is restored. The latter may be handled
by altering the way we fire onLoad() handlers, perhaps?

cheers,
