Bug 127137 – [iOS] HTMLMediaSession should set AudioSession category

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Media

[Eric Carlson]

On iOS, an HTMLMediaElement should always set the audio category to "media" so the ringer switch and volume controls do the right thing.

Why do we only want to do this on iOS (and only in MobileSafari)?

I would rather we always call this, and have it do nothing on platforms that don't need it.

AudioSession only has category support on iOS. We only set the category in MobileSafari because apps using a UIWebView may need to use another category, and can do so with the UIWebView.

OK, I will fix this in a follow-up.

By which I meant  "I will fix this when I check in".
