This is great and overdue. Hopefully all major browsers will add some support for open source/royalty free codecs.
Emscripten/WebAssembly actually worked rather well with audio (OPUS is just awesome) but when it comes to video it's just unfeasible, especially if you are looking at doing low latency streaming. That said, I cannot fail to mention the incredible effort done by ogv.js [1] to make a/v decoding possible almost anywhere.

Looking forward to experiment with this new API.
