 Replying to [comment:5 bradyvercher]:
 > @rafa8626 I haven't had a chance to test your last commit, but I'm not
 sure proxying the feature build method in `wp-mediaelement.js` will work
 because themes and plugins don't use that file when initializing their own
 players. It would really have to be part of `mediaelement-and-
 player.min.js` unless WordPress forced the compatibility layer to load
 instead of relying on themes and plugins to enqueue it.

 We could try something similar to https://github.com/jquery/jquery-
 migrate. I thought `wp-mediaelement.js` does this already but it's really
 just a helper for the video/audio shortcodes.
