Re: [mediacapture-main] Clarify "audiooutput" does not mean capture of audio output to headphones or speakers (#720)

Perhaps you do not understand what am stating. 

Am stating directly that neither this specification nor https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-output/ actually capture any audio output whatsoever.  The term used needs to be "microphone-reroute-to-speakers" or something like that. Users in the field are expecting "audiooutput" to mean just that, though these specifications are massaging terms of art which result in confusion. 

Therefore "audiooutput" must not exist in either specification. There is no "move" that should occur. That term needs to be repealed from these specifications until capture of audio output is actually specified, which it is not in either specification.
