RE: Google Audio/Video Tests (fixes and getting them approved)

The goal of these tests is to test the HTML5 audio/video features and not to test the optional/under discussion/proposed  addEventListner changes.

Being consistent with previous discussions in the group, I have updated the tests to include this parameter so that a 1/3rd of the tests don't fail on user agents that expect 3 parameters.
Note that is the same reason that we don't use onerror in our harness.

I think unnecessarily breaking things that aren't explicitly being 
tested is bad. In this case there is a clear workaround, so the tests 
should be fixed.
