I can change this.

Introducing new attribute is a little bit cleaner solution as long as 
input based capturing is a separate document I think. This attribute can 
be changed from boolean attribute to attribute that can contain these 
three values.

Andrei and others, can you describe how you plan the source parameter to 
work in practice in your implementation? Is it still possible to select 
normal files if it exists? And vice versa, what if "video/*" or 
"source=camera" is missing, is it then possible for the user to capture 
video or audio?

My thinking has been that both selecting files and capturing content 
should be possible in every case. Source parameter or attribute just 
hints in what mode the file picker should be initially be.
