Re: [mediacapture-output] Implicit consent via getUserMedia should allow access to non-miked speakers (#147)

> Why would it be different between cameras and microphones?

Some websites allow to enter a call without camera capture.
On the other hand, web sites are usually asking for microphone access more quickly (maybe given the lack of the green pill as for cameras, or maybe because they want to be able to detect voice activity).

For instance, both Zoom and Google Meet keep microphone capture live when user decide to mute microphone but stop camera capture when user decides to mute camera.
According my testing, even though Zoom might not always access camera when joining a call, it will consistently access microphone.

This leaves the possibility for a simpler compat story for microphones (and so speakers) than for cameras.

@guidou, have you made an assessment specific to speakers?
