Re: [w3c/gamepad] Background gamepads (#53)

Another possible use case where someone would want to continue accessing the gamepad while a tab is in the background- audio. A user might be controlling a synth from a gamepad, using only audio feedback. If they switched off the tab and suddenly lost control of the synth, that could be unexpected and undesireable.

I thought of this usecase reading the discussion of Chrome limiting timer usage in background tabs- https://tech.slashdot.org/story/17/01/25/1359214/chrome-to-introduce-timer-to-throttle-background-pages
