@henbos Yes. The OS has a default device with specific capabilities that influence what settings sites get by default:
```js
(await getUserMedia({audio: true})).getAudioTracks()[0].getSettings().channelCount // 1 or 2 ?
```
It seems irrelevant to an app and compat whether 1 or 2 is decided by:
A. which OS device is the user default
B. A user having picked a different device in Firefox's microphone picker, or
C. A linux user reconfiguring properties of the device driver of the device from A or B.
This is all under "user agent", and not the spec. Specs generally shy away from dictating the relationship between the user and their agent.
