I am not aware of a CSS property for media elements that lets you

Well, http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/aural.html defines volume and
play-during. Play-during can stop, autoplay and repeat sounds.
It's not obvious to me how this will apply to elements that represent
audiovisual content but volume: silent; unambiguously mutes content.
Those properties were designed for aural browsers using speech synthesis
to read the content of a page, not to control multimedia in a page
itself. Also, attempting to hijack those properties for use with
multimedia content could create difficulties as you would have to define
how the HTMLMediaElement's volume and muted properties interact with
those CSS properties, if at all.
