Changes
Modified in 2015 to be a push API instead of a pull API and to use Get/SetValue.
Use case
The ability to mute/unmute tabs or determine which tabs are playing audio is a commonly requested feature in web browsers. This specification allows browsers to mute/unmute instances of cooperating plugins and determine which instances are playing audio. Browsers can use these APIs to implement per-tab audio control.
Proposed Specification
Determine if an instance is playing audio
NPPVpluginIsPlayingAudio = 4000
This NPPVariable, when set via NPN_SetValue, will let the plugin instance signal via a BOOL if the current instance is currently playing audio.
Mute/Unmute a plugin instance
NPNVmuteAudioBool = 4000
This NPNVariable, when set via NPP_SetValue, will let the browser notify the plugin that it should mute audio for the current plugin instance.
