            Bug ID: 232860
           Summary: Won't play media and video in GtkOffscreenWindow
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKitGTK
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: luangruo at yahoo.com
                CC: bugs-noreply at webkitgtk.org

I can't get video to play in a WebKitWebView attached to a
GtkOffscreenWindow.  After setting up the logic to pass through button
events, and upon clicking the "play" button in, for instance, the
video at the front page of gnu.org, the playback area flickers white
for a second, then does nothing.

Media set to autoplay doesn't play either, with
`media-playback-requires-user-gesture' set to TRUE in WebKitSettings.

Following the instructions in the WebKitGTK/Debugging wiki page, no
gst.log is produced with the following environment variables upon
trying to play a video:

   export GST_DEBUG="3,webkit*:6" GST_DEBUG_FILE="$HOME/gst.log" \
          GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0

With a GST build with logs enabled.

With media logs enabled, I see the following output in the journal:

I remember this working fine in an offscreen window about a year or so
ago, so this is probably a regression.  If it helps, I tested this on
Fedora 34, with WebKitGTK 3.34.1.  Thanks in advance.
