Hi Stefan, thanks for checking this out.  I agree that we'll need a way to
create a source node from a MediaStreamTrack, but I think the direct method
taking a MediaStream is also good for many simple cases.

Currently the method looks like this:
MediaStreamAudioSourceNode createMediaStreamSource(MediaStream mediaStream);

I think it should be easily possible to overload this method and also
accept a MediaStreamTrack...

Cheers,
Chris
