Re: [clreq] audio elements in vertical writing mode (#232)

This question arose from Bobby [in a meeting](https://www.w3.org/2019/12/06-clreq-minutes.html#x02):

> Bobby: video and audio elements in vertical writing mode is a bigger problem, especially for audio elements
> … the audio control should be vertical
> … a horizontal audio control takes up a lot of space in a page in vertical writing mode
> xfq: we can mention this in the gap analysis if it is an issue
> Bobby: yes
> … we can also discuss this in i18n meetings
> huijing: in Arabic, the progress bar is often ltr instead of rtl
> … initially it was because the lack of good bidi support
> … but now many people already got used to it
> … this case might be similar to our case
> Bobby: I don't think so
> … the volume, seeking, pause, resume controls have minimum widths
> … doesn't look good in vertical writing mode if they're horizontal
> … so the layout of the controls should be different in vertical writing mode
> xfq: we can use 'transform: rotate(90deg)' ;)
> huijing: this is a new issue in the digital age
> … we can give recommendations, although there is no precedent about this kind of issues
> Bobby: we can ask people the question first
