If autoplay is disabled by default, Web authors will take counter-measures and start playback from JavaScript. However, if autoplay is honored by default but the user can turn in off as a pref, it could be that Web authors won't bother to take counter-measures.
It probably should be a visual pref somewhere, but I agree that the default should be to enable autoplay on foreground tabs.
On background tabs, I think all media should be click-to-play by default though, if possible - both for not needlessly waste power (which might be just as precious on a laptop than a mobile device, the lines are blurry anyhow) and for not surprising people (or making multiple tbas that one opens in the background all run autostarted media elements at the same time, creating a big jumble on the speakers).
