Re: [tvcontrol-api] multiple currentSources and currentChannel

@davisrc That's the approach I'm leaning towards with the discussion 
elsewhere on the mailing list about "media sessions".  I think the 
group is mostly agreeing on using the TVMediaStream as a conduit 
between the TVSource and the media element that's actually presenting 
it, and that does give the possibility of doing the kind of things you
 describe (and the W3C remote playback API is an example of where this
 could tie in for devices that remotely use the TV/STB/radio resources
 to receive a stream.

Again, I think the key here is being able to support multiple 
"sessions" from a single TVSource object (if the system supports it) -
 the group seems to be agreeing that the issue of resource management 
is best not exposed to web apps, which fits with what you're 
describing.
