    Peg the volume control to 1.0 on init
    Setup styles so that the volume control initially renders at full volume. This matches browser behavior where volume is available and saves Javascript from having to manually update the volume control on init. After the initial draw, the volume control is updated dynamically the same way it was before.

    Don't force sliders to get evaluated on load
    Since the load and play progress sliders are guaranteed to start from zero, set that through CSS. Calling Slider.prototype.update forces a re-flow because element dimensions are queried and style rules changed. That reflow consistently took around 60ms on my laptop which would mean dropped frames and "jerkiness" on initialization.
