Re: [mediacapture-screen-share] Is it meaningful to select window audio to be system or window at surface selection time? (#325)

> * With `windowAudio` correctly employed by the Web app, the UA does not offer the user to share audio which the app would subsequently ignore.

The issue is not with `windowAudio` itself but with `system` vs.`window` choices.
The web app will not know whether receiving system vs. window audio AFAIUI so my understanding is that they will use whatever audio is provided.

I buy that, to the extent that user understands the difference between `system` and `window`.
If so, UA can provide UX to dynamically change between the two.

I look forward for learning how users will handle this choice.
