No, because the "mute switch" behavior for each are tied together with other system behaviors: Web Audio is treated as "ambient" sound by iOS, which allows it to mix with other applications instead of interrupting, at the cost of having to obey the mute switch. Video/Audio playback will interrupt other (non-mixable) audio playback, and ignores the mute switch. In other words, there's no way* to untangle the "mixable" with "ignore the mute switch" from one another.

* No straightforward way at least.
