Re: [mediacapture-main] Only reveal labels of devices user has given permission to (#640)

> Privacy-by-default flow:

(With my co-chair hat off) I like this flow too. Mozilla would be supportive if the PING wants to pursue this and mandate it for all browsers.

The WebRTC WG long ago went with in-content camera/mic selection over in-chrome picker designs championed by Firefox. In hindsight, this may have been a mistake given the fingerprinting abuse it's received. The privacy climate has changed as well.

More recent picker-based APIs like `getDisplayMedia()` seem well-received, and Safari's plans for a picker for speakers seems reasonable to us. Given this, it seems sensible to consider pushing camera & mic selection in-chrome, if we can get buy-in from vendors.
