            Bug ID: 233492
           Summary: [GStreamer][WPE] Control on-disk multimedia buffering
                    via the WPE_SHELL_DISABLE_MEDIA_DISK_CACHE environment
                    variable
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media

Embedded platforms often don't have a persistent storage suitable for repetitive writes (eg: caching media files may wear out a flash drive, and RAM memory is scarce enough to use a tmpfs for caching).

Those platforms need a way to disable on-disk caching. Metrological has been successfully using an environment variable for that purpose downstream since 2016. If that implementation is upstreamed, other WPE users can benefit from it.
