[Bug 9224] It should be mentioned that setting playbackRate can be ignored. I.e. if playing backwards is not supported by the codec, if hardware acceleration does not support it, etc.

If I may reopen the bug here is a more concrete proposal to try to address
potential problems with existing media players that have no means of passing
informtion through the video element.

1. Add an event, playbackRateChanged. This allows for players to indicate a
change in playbackRate. If using RTSP for example the requested playbackRate
may not be supported and only in the response to a RTSP PLAY is it possible to
indicate what rate it is.

2. Add a property with a list of available playbackRates? It allows for
platform to provide available rates. The application can then offer a clear
list of options for example 2x, 8x, 16x. Then application can select the
desired playbackRate without having to guess a playbackRate.
