Re: [svgwg] Does conditional processing mute sound playback?

After thinking about this, I would expect `<audio>` and `<video>` to 
behave like `<image>`. For instance, `<use>` referencing `<video>` 
under `<switch>` should show it playing. This means that `<video>` 
must be fetched and played back even if conditional processing hides 
it.

CSS Media queries have the same issue with audio and video. Audio and 
video get played although media queries have hidden them.

Since `<switch>` and media queries both have the same issue, I think 
that they should be solved in the same way. `<audio>` and `<video>` 
are HTML elements, so I would let HTML/CSS solve this issue (by not 
playing when display is none or some other means).

So, this isn’t really an SVG related issue and should be just closed.
