Re: [remote-playback] [Meta] Guidance for HTMLMediaElement, HTMLAudioElement, HTMLVideoElement behaviors during remoting

So let's just list all of the things that one can do:
 * Set `src`, call `load()` or otherwise cause the current resource to
 be abandoned
 * Seek (fast or accurate, `fastSeek` is implemented in WebKit)
 * Pause/play
 * Change playback rate
 * Change volume and mute
 * Change enabled audio/video tracks
 * Change enabled text tracks

Which of these might be problematic on the remote side? Do we expect 
to have implementations where the volume can't be changed at all? 
Where changing the enabled audio track doesn't work?

The most troubling of these to me is actually text tracks. WebVTT is 
built on other web technologies, and if the remote isn't also a web 
engine, then it would have to be an independent implementation of 
WebVTT, and it's somewhat likely that just won't be done. @zcorpan
