The difference between HAVE_ENOUGH_DATA and HAVE_FUTURE_DATA is "enough data to
ensure uninterrupted playback". Since it is the web application that decides
the append rate, it seems difficult for the web browser to guess when it will
be possible to play through to the end.

Is an implementation expected to extrapolate the append rate in a similar
fashion as one would when estimating readyState for any other network resource,
or should one go to HAVE_ENOUGH_DATA only when buffered covers all times from
currentTime to duration?
