          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

Playing an audio file in <video> is allowed and works fine. However, when the audio starts playing, the poster image is removed. 

Per the spec, the poster image should stay visible:

"When no video data is available (... the media resource does not have a video channel), the video element represents the poster frame."

This also provides a better experience. A poster image is nicer than a white screen.
