What is the bug? 

Why cannot a user decide to close their laptop lid and transmit and record audio from `getUserMedia()`?

if laptop microphone keeps recording when they close the laptop lid.

There are use cases for microphone recording when laptop lid is closed and display is "off". These settings can be configured at OS level. Why is `getUserMedia()` attempting to define the behaviour of a laptop lid being closed?
