Suggestion: Don't stop playing music when WEBM has no sound.

[TheLastZombie]

When I'm playing music, it's rather annoying when I have to resume it every time. So I'd either:
• resume it after the WEBM finished playing
and/or:
• continue playing when the WEBM has no sound (not sure if that's possible, if it's not at least do this on boards where WEBMs with sound aren't allowed)

It's technically difficult to do, see #158
Reddit sync found a way around it, maybe @laurencedawson could share his workaround.

Well, I still don't know of a good way to do this unless you don't use VideoView, except for one solution. Since Oreo there is an option to stop it from pausing the other streams, and I implemented that.

Missed that I was tagged in this originally. I don't use the videoview component, switched to exoplayer years ago.

We should switch to exoplayer too, see #544

@floens Glad to see you agree on Exoplayer. It will fix pretty much all of the WebM issues people have.
