Audio & Video tracks + audioSession

[stubbornella]

Description

This proposal includes 3 APIs

• The audioTracks and videoTracks APIs for media elements switch audio and video tracks during playback.
• The navigator.audioSession API controls how audio playback interacts with other applications. For example, playing music can pause audio from other applications, while ambient audio can play at the same time.

Thank you for proposing Audio & Video tracks + audioSession for inclusion in Interop 2025.

We wanted to let you know that this proposal was not selected to be part of Interop this year.

On behalf of the entire Interop team, thank you for submitting this proposal for consideration. We got many more proposals than we could include in this year's project, necessitating some difficult choices. Please note this should not be taken as a comment on the technology as a whole, or our willingness to consider it for Interop in the future. We appreciate the work you put into your proposal, and would welcome your participation in future rounds of Interop.

For an overview of our process, see proposal selection. Thank you again for contributing to Interop 2025.
