[media-source] Should MSE cause any "preload" attribute on parent media source to be ignored?

wolenetz has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/media-source:

== Should MSE cause any "preload" attribute on parent media source to 
be ignored? ==
For example of interop issues around at least the preload="none" case,
 see Chromium bug https://crbug.com/539707.

Since MSE API gives the web app control over buffering, the preload 
attribute on the media element seems meaningless. Am I missing some 
particular behavior of the user agent for a media element with 
MediaSource attached that should be conditioned on the media element's
 "preload" attribute? Or should such a media element explicitly ignore
 or override to "auto" the "preload" value on attachment of a 
MediaSource?
