Re: [mediacapture-main] Devicechange event firing potentially being a fingerprint

The problem with not firing on other contexts is (of course) that 
comms applications will frequently be running without focus - for 
instance, a voice chat will often be running in a non-focus window 
while the user is doing something in another window and talking about 
it on the voice chat.

If (for instance) the handler for a devicechange event wants to make a
 notification alerting the user that he might need to change his 
selected microphone, delaying the alert is the wrong thing to do for 
the user.

I agree with Stefan that this is not an area where we're in a good 
position to be initial explorers.
