Javascript - Check if the site is playing iframe audio

Question

I would like to know how can I check if the site is playing the audio. I have tried this, but it doesnt seem to work for me: HTML:

<iframe width="500px" height="300px" id="player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gPDcwjJ8pLg"></iframe>

And my JS:

var myAudio = document.getElementById('player');

myAudio.addEventListener("ended", function(){
  myAudio.currentTime = 0;
  alert("ended");
});

Thanks for any advice.

Your YouTube link is an `` element; it has no concept of an `ended` event. Only the `<audio>` and `<video>` elements have such an event.</video></audio> — Obsidian Age, Jan 31 '18 at 19:23

No, I want to check if the site is playing any audio, not if the audio finishes playing. — Adam Šulc, Jan 31 '18 at 19:28
@ObsidianAge ok, I understand that now. So do you have any idea how can i check if the iframe audio is playing on the site? — Adam Šulc, Jan 31 '18 at 19:29
Rename your questions as `any idea how can i check if the iframe audio is playing` this is interesting. — NVRM, Jan 31 '18 at 19:35

See https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference The IFrame player API lets you embed a YouTube video player on your website and control the player using JavaScript.

Good, but I would rather like to have iframe as HTML element and not as getting called by the API. Can I control the iframe element just by the javascript? – Adam Šulc Jan 31 '18 at 19:34
