I've [critiziced](https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/170#issuecomment-509873541) the current Web Speech API for being too tightly coupled to microphone and default speaker output.
I suggest that WG work to plug into existing audio sources and sinks in the platform through `MediaStreamTrack` (there's precedence in [web audio](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AudioContext/createMediaStreamDestination)).
Output selection would then fall out for free. E.g.
```js
audioElement.srcObject = speechSynthesis.createMediaStreamDestination();
audioElement.setSinkId(await navigator.mediaDevices.selectAudioOutput({deviceId}));
speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesisUtterance("Hello world!"));
```
