You only have as much control of the embedded content as the provider allows.

In this case the embedded video at http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE.webm specifically sets autoplay="" so it runs automatically.

Unless someone override things this way it will default to not run.

You can control this with most providers by either setting parameters in the DocBook or in the URL.

Cheers, Jeff.
