That said, I think we should think about how we can enable more user control of such features. If I open media tabs in the background, I probably don't want them to autoplay at all.
I think that's the key part. Is there any common usage scenario in which autoplay on an inactive tab is not a nuisance? Who hasn't reopened Firefox with a bunch of tabs loading and then had to scramble through them to find which ones were making noise?
I reckon that making autoplay depend on page visibility would be enough to remove the need for user control here, so as to keep things simple. IMHO the only question is whether that would break content and possibly require a spec change. I suspect not for content; on the spec side it already says that UAs don't have to support it.
