Stateful audio subsystem

[tmedwards]

The audio subsystem—the SimpleAudio API and backing browser APIs—currently integrate neither the current audio configuration nor current playback state into play sessions—meaning neither page reloads nor save loads may restore the audio state.

This requires authors to either accept that audio may briefly stop playing after a page/save load or add extra code to ensure their audio is restored after such.

It would be better if the audio subsystem could handle this automatically for authors.

Issues

• There is the potential to break existing code—likelihood in cases where authors have added their own restoration code.
• It's trivial to use the SimpleAudio API to create state that cannot be serialized correctly. Unfortunately, nothing can be done about this save noting the instances within the documentation—that no one will read.
