Disabling autoplay breaks applications.

Reported by manuelch...@gmail.com, Mar 29 2017

Issue description

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) Use application that heavily relies on autoplay.
2) It doesn't work, sometimes have to click all the time, sometimes it doesn't work at all.

What is the expected behavior?
I trust the websites I visit, and I want them to work as intended.

What went wrong?
Websites are broken. 

Did this work before? N/A 

Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? N/A

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version:   Channel: n/a
OS Version: 
Flash Version: 

Contents of chrome://gpu: 
Disabling audio/video element autoplay breaks a lot of applications that depend on it. For instance I have 3 websites that don't work properly because of this. I think it would be better to take care of the unwanted media playing problem in another way, like blacklisting  or whitelisting websites regarding that.
