I know what I think: getUserMedia is the wrong API to use for
acquiring media from a non-user-device source.  These are the sorts of
questions that arise.  I don't think that deviceId makes any sense for
something that is not a device.  (Similarly, I would not use
getUserMedia to acquire media from an RTCPeerConnection.)
