Issues with Base64 encoded values in 1.2.6 #69

Hello,

I'm playing around with 1.2.6 and porting previous player from 1.2.1 to this new release and I have noticed that these lines of code in 1.2.1 are false and in 1.2.6 are true (i.e. the btoa and atob are undefined)

if (undefined === btoa) {
    var btoa = BASE64.encode;
}
if (undefined === atob) {
    var atob = BASE64.decode;
}

This results in btoa becoming BASE64.encode and this method creates wrong Base64 values. To test, take this Uin8Array

var arr = new Uint8Array([34, 108, 58, 142, 214, 53, 79, 38, 147, 249, 93, 97, 85, 57, 72, 44]);

Run it through this function

function bufferToBase64(buf) {
  var binstr = Array.prototype.map.call(buf, function (ch) {
      return String.fromCharCode(ch);
  }).join('');

  var x = BASE64.encode(binstr);
  var z = window.btoa(binstr);
}

And compare X and Z.

What I currently did to fix the issue is changed the following code

if (undefined === this.btoa) {
    var btoa = BASE64.encode;
}
if (undefined === this.atob) {
    var atob = BASE64.decode;
}

to this

var btoa = this.btoa === undefined ? BASE64.encode : this.btoa;
var atob = this.atob === undefined ? BASE64.decode : this.atob;

Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.
