Support MediaElement.volume values greater than 1 #11848
Description
What problem are you trying to solve?
We develop an application used by broadcasters, which plays back audio with a dynamic normalisation "gain" value, which can be greater than 1.
What solutions exist today?
At the moment, to apply a gain value greater than one, we must either use the W3C WebAudio API - which can produce choppy playback under high load due to its realtime nature - or, transcode the file in the browser and apply the gain at sample level, playing the file back using MediaSource extensions to allow fast seeking.
Both of these result in a poorer user experience.
How would you solve it?
By allowing the "volume" attribute to increase to values above 1.0
Anything else?
