Volume only gets set after players are loaded

[Fauntleroy]

If you set the volume of ReactPlayer when you instantiate it, (at least) the YouTube and SoundCloud players will not respect it (and seem to use 0.8). I imagine this is because setVolume calls are currently stopped instead of queued when the player isn't ready yet.

To replicate:

• Set volume to "0" in the state block of App.js
• Go to http://localhost:3000/
• Play a YouTube video
• The YouTube video will be audible
• Change the volume using the volume slider
• The YouTube video's volume will change as expected

With this is looks like we have a number of method calls which may need to be queued before execution. Maybe we should add a queue method which stores these calls until onReady, then executes them all in order?

Hopefully this is sorted in 0.3.5.

Inside onReady, isReady = true was happening after setVolume(), which bails if isReady === false.

There are still some volume issues appearing (though less consistently than before). I'll try and get a more cohesive test case together later, but a brief look this morning suggests that the volume isn't properly respected when new YouTube videos are loaded into an existing player.

Hm. I wonder if we should just set volume every time onPlay fires..

[cookpete]

Ah I believe the behaviour you are seeing is because volume is not sent through if the player is not active. Perhaps volume should be sent to all players, active or not, and they can adjust accordingly in the background.

I've had a further look at this. The YouTube player happens to be the only player that doesn't call onReady when loading subsequent videos, so hopefully 5895663 sorts this. Published in 0.3.6.
