The way I see it, semantically, <video> has an implied <audio>  
component (for lack of a better word) since it plays both in AV. Based  
on that, it would IMHO make sense to mute the audio when hidden (I  
would assume audio would be muted for <audio hidden>). If you want  
audio only, use <audio>.
