--- Comment #13 from Christophe Strobbe <[email protected]> ---
I am adding the keyword "accessibility" since this enhancement is essential for
accessibility. 

Success Criterion 1.4.2 in WCAG 2.1 requires that audio should not play
automatically (unless it plays for at most three seconds or controls for the
audio volume are available). This also applies to videos containing audio.

Success Criterion 2.2.2 in WCAG 2.1 requires that "for any moving, blinking or
scrolling information that (1) starts automatically, (2) lasts more than five
seconds, and (3) is presented in parallel with other content, there is a
mechanism for the user to pause, stop, or hide it (...)".

These requirements have been applied to non-web documents in Chapter 10 of ETSI
standard EN 301 549. (This is the accessibility standard that will apply when
the European Accessibility Act enters into force in June 2025.)
