Media component with HTML5 Player

[cagataycivici]

Consider using HTML5 player with Media component

I would consider raising the priority on this since most modern browsers support this and with the security concerns surrounding Flash, more organizations are dumping the use of Flash.

In my opinion use of flash is death and if you add html5 media support Primefaces will be unbeatable framework also for the future! See also my request #1193

@Rapster "object" has been chosen as "video" was likely not available at this time. The component is quite old and never got a facelift.
So if you have ideas and time to work on, feel free.

We should discuss what media should support, same as today (audio, video and PDF)? Is it some sort of delegator, encoding the right HTML5 component depending the input?

I think we just should decide somewhere if object or video is rendered. Maybe it can be handled via type or we need a new flag.

@tandraschko @Rapster i think with the recent spat of problems both reported and in the forums with the Media player I think we should create two new components p:audio and p:video that do the equivalent of each HTML5 tag and that way its not 1 component trying to do everything. The <audio> and <video> tags have different properties anyway so i doesn't make sense to mix them.

Then the old PDF functionality doesn't even seems like it works anymore anyway. Thoughts?
