I read that, but how can that API be used to notify the original tab to stop playing?

It has the ability to "steal" lock from another tab. Once tab loses a lock, it can pause the playback.

As far as I can tell, the original tab isn't notified when its lock is stolen. So again, how would the original tab be notified?
