CKEditor recording plugin fails when Quicktime is installed (Windows/IE 11)

Description

As far as the Quick Time problem, We either need to force the plugin to use windows media player with the classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" attribute or get it to work with quicktime. The problem is either plugin is changing the tag when CKEditor saves it. Quick Time adds a base64 encoded data attribute which is useless and causes the tag removal based on antisamy rules (in both high/low). However if I add that classid, windows media player adds like 20 new param's which cause a pile of error messages. (But I think it still works since it's set to validate).

Apple ended support for Windows Quicktime in April 2016 and CERT issued an alert to uninstall it, so I'm just going to mark this as Won't Fix. The easiest fix is to uninstall Quicktime and/or not use Internet Explorer if you have it installed.

No I have not done any work on this and didn't have any immediate plans. This was just something that Neal noticed back during QA on the feature as an edge case that may come up. The best current workaround was just to use Firefox or Chrome on Windows to avoid it as it was the browser and plugins messing with the DOM so anything else would be hacks. Though most of getting this to work in IE in general was hacks since it doesn't support the <audio> tag very well.
