padenot has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-output: == Behaviour when the system default audio output device changes == What happens when the following happens: 1. We're playing an `HTMLMediaElement` through the default device, with a empty `sinkId` 1. The default device changes (because the user changes it in the control panel of the operating system, or a new device has been plugged in, and the system sets it as the default). Is the `HTMLMediaElement` silently re-routed to the new default device? Does it stop playing ? The former is what happens right now in UAs, the latter is probably not web-compatible. More broadly, the concept of a "default device" is too overloaded, and needs to be defined. Is it the device that was the default at the time the audio playback started? Is it a kind of "virtual device" that always outputs to whatever the default device is (i.e. the audio output follows the system default, even if the system default changes) ? Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-output/issues/49 using your GitHub account
