https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24015 has a proposal for
an event on navigator to avoid polling; I don't think that navigator
implements the event listener interface, so it probably doesn't make
sense to add it just for this.

This could be moved to be a global event (i.e. on the window object);
but I wonder if instead we could say that the MediaDeviceInfoCallback
should be automatically invoked each time the list of media input and
output devices change (roughly the same way navigator.watchPosition
invokes its callback when the user position changes).

Thoughts?
