Am I correct in thinking that a page which automatically launches media is ipso facto non-compliant with 508 requirements since the state has changed on load without the user's clicking Play? What of WCAG 2.0 requirements and best practices?
What if the button that moves to the "next page" (with the media) is aria-labelled with something like "move to next page and launch audio"? Weird, perhaps, but inaccessible if that next page immediately launches media??
Thanks,
Alan
