RE: Next steps on Capture API?

What I got from the Ajaxian's posting are:
- API is simple but limited and would like to support for realtime, like video chat
- Ability to have frequency and waveform data for captured audio similar to Flash.
- API seems to be designed mainly for mobile devices. It would be nice with API with more capabilities for more powerful devices, so JS can compete with Flash.

Thanks

The Capture API got some public review via Ajaxian (thanks Dion!):

<http://ajaxian.com/archives/w3c-capture-api-our-in-draft>

There are some good comments so I think the spec editors should follow  
up and perhaps invite interested people to join the discussion on this  
list.
