Currently we have hotkeys, and you can already pause and unpause the video by clicking on the chart, and there is the volume indicator (which should be turned into an input as well).
But it may be more convenient to some if we added actual buttons. In case of seeking controls, this can be a type="range" input (like the other controls in the popup) (related: #112).
We could also think about putting these buttons on top of the chart to save space.
Why? The main reason is to let users more easily control the media without closing the popup. Also they may find our controls more convenient than the website's ones.
So after all maybe these reasons are not strong enough to implement this.
