--- Comment #1 from Gili <cowwoc@bbs.darktech.org> ---
I'd like to propose a variation of this proposal.

Instead of specifying a timeout, developers should be able to cancel a
getUserMedia() call at any arbitrary time.

If we implement a mechanism similar to setInterval(), clearInterval() then
users will be able to cancel after a timeout (as Kiran suggested) as well as
due to external (server-driven) events. This has UX benefits.

Use-case: A user enters a video conferencing bridge. Before she grants
permission to the camera, the call ends and all users are ejected from the
room.

Instead of asking users to respond to a stale prompt, the server can abort the
operation and notify the user that the call has ended.
