Comment (by gk):

 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-drm has some decent info. The
 bottom line is there is only EME on Windows Vista+ and as we don't build
 any sandbox on Windows and the sandbox is needed for EME we won't get it
 to run on Vista+ either. Thus, I'll go with the idea in comment:4 and
 audit the result. As mentioned in the description we want to revisit this
 during the preparation for ESR 45 when we have fixed #16010 and
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1136707 got solved by
 Mozilla.
