Re: [mediacapture-screen-share] Capturing audio-only (#100)

Privacy and security:
I'm not saying audio-only capture is necessarily better or worse from a privacy and security perspective, but it may be different enough to be worth revisting if the privacy and security versus use cases trade-off is still worth it.
- Unlike screen sharing, audio-only capture might not be as clear to the user that capturing is happening or what is being captured.
- Unlike screen sharing, audio-only capture is much more limited in use cases. I'm personally having trouble coming up with convincing ones.

But even if that is resolved: doing an API that only works on some OSes, or that works different on different OSes, seems controversial in and of itself.
- So I we should have some really strong use cases for this... what are they?

Btw I agree that doing audio+video capture when you only want audio is counterproductive - it's a workaround to not having solved the audio-only capture use case. But the question is: do we want to solve this use case?

I would start with "what use cases do we want to solve?"
