Re: [remote-playback] Do we need remote.getAvailability()?

Since this is an object returned from a method (and not a property), 
it would be a different object for each 
call.

No; the onchange event might fire though.

case?

Since there's no way to get from a RemotePlaybackAvailability object 
to its associated media object, no, the availability object would not 
keep the element from being collected.
