A personal anecdote:

Our video player has a specific use case where it needs to run at 10x speed. At some point we started seeing decoder underflow issues in Chrome. After banging my head against it for a couple of days, I discovered that setting playbackRate to something just below 10, like 9.9 would make the issue disappear. We didn't have a hard requirement to have it play at exactly 10x, and I didn't want to spend more time on the issue, so I left a descriptive comment next to the fix. Our team now refers to this as "the Warp 10 workaround".
