Warning on this: on Android this test will seem to have passed even though changing the volume has no actual effect on the video / audio being played. It's currently impossible to detect Android's lack of support for the HTML5 volume API; volumechange events are even fired as though the volume had actually changed.

Oh, it makes me mad, it does! Here's the related Android bug report on Google Code.
