--- Comment #4 from Mark Watson <watsonm@netflix.com> ---
It seems that the natural pattern is that createSession is dependent on the
information in needkey (the initData) and so it is no great imposition to
require that all EME-aware applications register a needkey handler.

It's true that an application which has out-of-band knowledge of the initData
may not really need to register to handle the needkey event, but such
out-of-band knowledge - whilst it may be common - is very application-specific.
I don't see that it's necessary for us to provide special handling for this
case vs having the application nevertheless register a needkey handler.

Given this, the MEDIE_ERR_ENCRYPTED would be used for the case where there is
encrypted data and no needkey handler, meaning it's a non-EME-aware
application.
