Yeah, I almost proposed this as an alternative, but identified the race 
and found it to be unacceptable.

Doing this pushes the problem down the constituency priority chain from 
implementors all the way to authors and users. And, make no mistake 
here: you're proposing user-visible glitches. This is exactly the wrong 
direction.

I wonder if there's some way to hook into Media Source Extensions that 
would allow the apps to perform these kinds of changes on a frame-exact 
basis. Anyone here sufficiently familiar with that spec to be able to 
answer?
