When an .ogg file is linked to directly, the video controls are completely hidden until mouseover.  It's unclear where to find them on mouseover - they appear about 200 pixels down from the top and flush right of the window. (Minefield 3.2a1pre)

Expected behavior:  If an .ogg file is linked to directly, controls should be always visible at the center of the window.

When the video document is constructed, it sets |autoplay| on the video element. Bug 469211 added the code to have the controls initially visible, but this intentionally isn't done for autoplay media (because the controls overlap the video, and it seems like it would be annoying to have to take action to make them go away).

A couple of existing bugs that could help mitigate this problem:

* Bug 462368 will force the controls to be visible when the .ogg is really just a audio track (as your example is).

* Bug 472942 would fill the entire tab with the video, so putting the mouse anywhere over the window would show the controls. [Or, if we opt not to scale it, at least some styling to make the video region more obvious. Say, a border  or different background color.]
