<video muted> should not fire a volumechange event

Comment 1 Philip Jägenstedt 2011-07-22 12:30:12 UTC
"When a media element is created, if it has a muted attribute specified, the user agent must set the muted IDL attribute to true, overriding any user preference."

As defined, this will "queue a task to fire a simple event named volumechange", which is not very useful at all, as it's fairly hard to observe the event. No event is fired when the muted state or volume is set by remembering a user preference.

Incidentally, it was simpler to implement without firing the event.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r6467.
Check-in comment: Revamp how .muted, .volume, and muted='' are defined (shouldn't impact implementations)
