After triggering the issue from https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=175472, both sending and receiving video elements go black by holding the home button to activate Siri and returning to Safari.
<rdar://problem/33860862>
I can reproduce the fact that when Siri interrupts Safari, and we are back from Safari, audio is not playing back automatically. Calling $('audio')[0].play() seems to work.
Interesting quirk - in looking into workarounds, I have the .srcObject = .srcObject trick mentioned in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=175472, but in trying to detect the video is black by drawing it to a canvas, it actually renders correctly into the canvas.

Andrew, can you confirm you do not see any more issue in latest seeds?
