Chrome mobile doesn't autoplay media src with autoplay="false"

Project Member Reported by mitay...@mozilla.com, Feb 7 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: Chrome 55.0.2883.91 (Official Build), etc.
OS: Android 7.1.1 Nexus 6P

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) In Chrome Mobile, visit http://codepen.io/miketaylr/pen/RKBXeM

What is the expected result?

You should hear an annoying dog barking.

What happens instead?

No audio.


It would seem that sites are relying on Chrome Mobile's spec violation to prevent audio autplay:

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/embedded-content.html#attr-media-autoplay is pretty clear about autoplay being a boolean attribute.

The "false" bit is not significant, I've commented in https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/2803#issuecomment-278189021.

I'm going to close as WontFix, not because there isn't a problem here, but it's not precisely the one described.
