react-player seems to always control/override some props (e.g., volume, muted, playback rate) that users might want to persist through other unrelated state changes, and we don't currently have the option to allow that behaviour.

In my use case, I'd adopted use of react-player for a watch party app that synchronizes the player's src to values that can change from an infinite playlist of content. Users began reporting annoyance when their volume settings were being lost between videos.

These settings that users frequently tweak may be better to only control if their props were actually specified.
