Re: [mediacapture-output] Where did "speaker" feature policy go? (#91)

@guidou It's far more confusing now where users have to allow microphones when they're just choosing what soundcard to play music on.  I have to do a `getUserMedia()` request, hope they actually have an audio input device so they can accept, then immediately stop the the tracks on the captured stream.  Only then can I enumerate output devices.  Even once that's done, the URL bar shows a little camera icon (additionally confusing) with a note that says, "this page is accessing your microphone."

If there is a better thread to discuss this specific issue, could you please point me to it?
