After further deliberations, I believe that it would be easier for applications to be notified by the CaptureController and to allow them to pause the capture at the source level.
Ensuring that all tracks are paused individually puts an extra burden on application developers when tracks are cloned. Furthermore, the setup an application needs to do may have a wider scope than individual tracks, e.g., updates to the UI.
From the discussion in this thread, it also seems more inline with existing semantics to pause on the source level. We could model this on `VideoTrackGenerator.muted`, which I believe have the behavior we seek:
```
controller.setSurfaceSwitchingCallback(() => {
controller.muted = true
setup().then(controller.muted = false);
});
```
Besides being easier to understand and use than returning a promise, this approach would also give applications the flexibility to use other methods for pausing if they so wish, e.g., setting `enabled = false` on a track or use any of the other methods discussed earlier in this thread.
