           Summary: Request: Prefix <title> with ▶ when <video> or <audio>
                    is playing in that tab
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media Elements
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mathias at qiwi.be


It would be great if the <title> of a document (as displayed in its tab) would automatically get a prefix like ▶ if video or audio is currently playing in it.

This would make it easier to track down which tab is making noise.

http://soundcloud.com/ and http://hypem.com/ are popular sites that already do this through some scripting, but it would be very useful to have this kind of functionality baked into the browser.

I do realize this would be hard to implement for media that’s playing through a plugin [1], but it would still be useful for <video> and <audio>.
