A basic media component that displays video and audio. This component uses the HTML5 video and audio specification and has a flash fallback for browsers that don't support HTML5.
The speed selector button does not have a meaningful label for screenreaders. The button is announced by default as the "one point zero zero x button"
The speed selector button is not keyboard accessible. Mouse users can hover over the playback speed button to reveal more options, but when a keyboard users sets focus on the playback speed button and activates it with space or enter, nothing happens. Keyboard users are unable to change their playback speed.
In mediaLibrariesOverrides.js, we override (or add?) aria labels for use with MediaElement.js. So, perhaps we could add a label for speed here.
The focus issue is similar to that of captions. See #232
