[Bug 18592] How much is "enough data to ensure uninterrupted playback"

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18592

--- Comment #10 from Adrian Bateman [MSFT] <adrianba@microsoft.com> ---
Having reviewed this in light of the recent discussions on the call, we think
that we should keep support for HAVE_ENOUGH_DATA so that we can maintain the
autoplay support.

One use case discussed is that of a library that creates a custom UI for a
media element. Since MSE is designed simply to abstract away the network layer
(i.e. how data gets into the buffer) it would be unfortunate if such a library
needed to be substantially modified to work with MSE.

We think it should be left to implementations to determine how sophisticated
they want to be with predicting when to switch to HAVE_ENOUGH_DATA. Some
implementations may simply look at the amount of buffered content. Others may
include the rate at which content is being appended by the application. This
isn't very different from the way implementations can choose to consider the
download rate for normal progressive download.
