Replace 'participating media elements' with 'participating audio producers' about mediasession HOT 4 CLOSED

@domenic Commit 875f2a7 replaces 'participating media elements' with 'audio-producing objects' to provide what I think is a good abstraction for future 'audio-producing object' additions (e.g. enabling AudioContext-based media focus pending the outcomes of discussion at #48 & #50).

If there are further issues or, if you really want to instead see this written as per your suggestion at #48 (comment), then please re-open this issue or create a new issue as you feel is appropriate.

Thanks!

I mean, I think that adding switch statements ("If audio-producing object is not a media element") throughout the spec is kind of sad, and will only get sadder as those parts get fleshed out to support AudioContext, and AudioContext becomes more tied in to all this. But I'll leave that kind of factoring decision for you guys.

I agree this kind of type testing is a sign that the layering isn't complete. I'm not sure it would be implemented with a type test and cast though, so perhaps trying to implement this will inform how it should be expressed in the spec.
