1.4.2 audio control, do we want to require the stop mechanism to be more discoverable?

Do we want to look at 1.4.2 for WCAG 2.1 to ensure the mechanism to stop
auto play of music is easy to find and get to... currently the mechanism
can be anywhere...

or should we look at the advances in Screen Readers (VO etc...) that force
other system sounds to drop in volume when AT is running, as a positive
step towards overcoming the problem in AT and user agents and not make any
changes in 2.1?

Personally, I'd like to require the mechanism to stop auto play audio in
the the first few tab stops, or some other easily discoverable way...

Cheers,
David MacDonald
