Re: [mediacapture-output] API to request audio output device selection (#86)

This change seems to propose disallowing a web application from getting an output device list and presenting it to the user, in favor of a browser-specific UI for doing this.  Is this correct?

Such a change would break a lot of use cases.  The browser doesn't know the context of what the application is trying to do.  For example, it's common in my applications to use multiple audio outputs simultaneously.  As part of saved config, I know what devices should be used for what, and when, because the user previously configured them in my application.  If instead on every page load I have to request the user multiple times to select a device, this would be very damaging to the user experience.
