 mediaelement.js supports youtube videos as source urls (see:
 mediaelementjs.com/examples/?name=youtube) but currently that feature is
 unused in favor of an embedded iframe.

 It appears to me that embed urls are passed to the video shortcode as
 source attribute so a possible fix would be to have the shortcode accept
 youtube urls like this: '''[video
 src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAiVsbXVP6k"]'''
