Thanks!

Use-case please? Where was this discussed? It is unclear what this is 
intended to solve.

Looking at the language for getNativeSettings(), I have concerns about 
this API: " Note that both the track settings and the native settings 
are snapshots and can change without application involvement."

Native settings that can change. Are we supposed to poll reactively for 
changes to "native" settings after we've already gotten the wrong thing? 
That seems awfully late. I would think that what's native about any 
source (or anything) would be almost entirely deterministic, and 
discoverable ahead of time, with something like getCapabilities().

So if anything, I think we're extending in the wrong place here.

I am, however, impressed by how this got in here so expediently. ;-)
