Description:
When streaming music (Soundcloud.com) or video (youtube.com) in the browser, if the user has headphones plugged in and unplugs them, the media is not paused and automatically plays through the phone speakers. This is inconsistent with the Music and Video apps which pause the media when headphones are disconnected.


Repro Steps:
1) Update an Aries to 20150625095718
2) Open the browser and go to soundcloud.com or youtube.com
3) Plug in headphones.
4) Press play on the media.
5) Unplug headphones.


Actual:
Media continues play and the audio automatically switches to the phone speakers.


Expected:
Media is automaticaly paused when headphones are unplugged.

Inconsistent behavior between playing music from Browser and playing music within the Music app. Affects all branches, so not really in a position to block. Reaching out to Music and Browser owners if they have thoughts on which behavior should be primary.

actually, tif might know whether browser playback behaviors should be in sync with media app behavior.

Yes! I would love for all playback behaviours to be consistent across the device - it's been my goal for awhile :)

I completed preliminary analysis of this issue and it looks like there is no a simple fix for it. There is an event AudioChannelManager.onheadphoneschange which allows to track removal of the headphones and this is how Audio and Video players handle it. For browser case, the browser application itself can also handle this event, but the problem here is that browser application knows nothing about the content of the page which is opened. All the pages in browser are implemented with <iframe mozbrowser> tag, so the parent window can’t get access to its content since it is from another domain. There is no a simple solution on the gaia level. So, the fix for this issue should be done on gecko level and most likely changes in HTMLMediaElement will be required.

I also checked the behavior on other devices (Android and iPhone) with different browsers and the result is the same as in Firefox OS. In spite the native Video and Audio applications stop playing media when headset is removed, the audio and video playing in browser is not stopped and continue playing through speakers.

Taking into account written above the suggestion is resolve this bug as wontfix.
