I am building an audio player/podcast player web app. Clearly, I will be playing a lot of audio. I do not intend to play any video. The only component to play the audio, however, is the video component. That's not necessarily a big problem, since it plays audio-only content just fine. The problem is that the big rectangle where the actual video would normally be displayed is always showing like a blank screen. The bigger problem is that, since I cannot put other components on top of it, it just takes up real estate in my app that I can never use.
Please either make an audio component* or make the video part of the video component able to be hidden.
*note: to make an audio component, you could literally make a very similar copy of the video component since almost all of the options of the video component work quite well for audio-only content.
