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

I looked for about 10 minutes and gave up trying to find keyboard
equivalents to mute tabs in other browsers besides FF...

I think that qualifies as "poor discoverability" if they exist at all...

Maybe we should file bugs on Safari, Chrome, Edge, and IE

Cheers,
