[mediacapture-main] Consider specifying a minimum length for deviceId

martinthomson has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main:

== Consider specifying a minimum length for deviceId ==
In reviewing the Audio Output API, they are attempting to reserve a 
value for use in APIs that would accept a `deviceId` value.  That is 
made fraught with the potential for collisions because the definition 
of `deviceId` doesn't constrain the value-space of the device 
identifier at all.  A minimum length - or any other sort of constraint
 on the value-space - would allow the Audio Output API to choose a 
value that is guaranteed not to collide.
