Nor would I expect the doorhanger to be shown in this case. Refering to the current UX in Firefox, what I think Jan-Ivar should do is put the gUM icon in place without the hanger. If the user selects the icon, open the doorhanger with a note: "This site has requested access to devices that you don't have." There's no need for buttons here, which would imply action, doorhangers disappear when they lose focus, which should be enough. The ideal solution, one that we likely won't arrive at (based on my assessment of feedback thus far, admittedly), is to limit mandatory constraints to the set of things that the application already knows. Then, if the application asks for something that doesn't exist, it can get an error immediately.
