I disagree. How is the OS supposed to know the difference?

If you want to make a nice animation, how about not including an audio track? Or using the attributes to specify it should be played muted so it won’t cut my audio by default (what YouTube and others do).




The OS (or browser, rather) probably shouldn't allow autoplaying sounds at all.


Your OS cannot play multiple audio streams at once? That sounds like Linux 10 years ago.
