Re: [mediacapture-screen-share] Conditional Suppression of Local Audio Playback from Captured Tab (#161)

I think the use case makes sense. Unlike for video, having multiple consumers of audio can prove challenging, and may inherently warrant either-or controls like this that flip between outputs that users hear, to avoid listening to overlapping audio.

I think a SHOULD is appropriate. Firefox shows a 🔈 in tab-headers of tabs that produce audio, that the user can click on to mute/unmute audio in that tab. I could see us integrating this feature with that — users would see the state change reflected there, and be able to interact with it to override it — to avoid multiple levels of muting.
