Should getDevices() still hang of MediaStreamTrack now when we have 
introduced output devices as well? Perhaps it should be a sibling to 
getUserMedia() on Navigator?

// SourceInfo as of today for reference
dictionary SourceInfo {
     DOMString sourceId;
     DOMString kind;
     DOMString label;
};

sourceId: rename to "deviceId" or perhaps only "id" is sufficient since 
it hangs of a DeviceInfo object?

kind: Suggestion: explicitly state the type of device for input devices 
as well ("audio" -> "audio-input"). Then we might consider renaming 
"kind" to "type" since we're not aligned with MediaStreamTrack.kind anymore.
