Re: [mediacapture-main] Relinquish device when all tracks are muted or disabled. (#662)

> Safari is muting a page track if user grants another web page access to the camera/microphone. This API could be used by the other page to request access again instead of calling getUserMedia again.

@youennf I tried [this fiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/jib1/Ltg3eqn1/) in two different Safari windows and I understand what you mean now.

But why doesn't Safari automatically unmute the first window when I close the second? Or at least when I focus the first window again?

I don't see why the application should need to ask when it didn't want to be muted in the first place. It seems obvious to me that it wants to be unmuted, so why not just assume it does?
