Does audio also have fallback content?
With <audio>, you can set its display to 'none' and the audio will still
play. However, if its display is set to 'none' and the element were to
fall back to a child object element that loads a plug-in, things wouldn't
work because plug-ins don't work with a display of 'none'.
You would then have to detect that <audio> fell back so you could set its
display to "inline-block" for example so the fallback plug-in would
actually load. Or, there'd have to be a new css selector to handle this
like audio::fallback_state { display: inline-block} or a parent selector
on the child object element that was only applied when <audio> fell back
to it. Or, the browser would have to make plug-in objects that are
descendants of an <audio> element work with a display of 'none'.
The same applies to <video> if you want to set its display to 'none' and
just hear the audio.
