Description Philippe Normand 2018-01-15 08:42:15 PST

We should have some API for setting the autoplay policy, similar to the mac port.

I think this should be implemented using ChromeClient::handleAutoplayEvent() ...

handleAutoplayEvent() is there to tell clients when autoplay is denied, I guess so they can display some UI clarifying that. I don't think it is relevant to an API allowing clients to set the policy. Am I missing something?
