Gapless sequencing of decoded audio coming from media elements isn't easy to do with Web Audio, and I'm not sure how we'd fit video in there and maintain A/V sync. But OK.

I get the strong impression we don't care about #2 and #3, just that no-one is willing to come out and clearly say so :-). In which case, no problem, let's rip out the blocking code.
