[mediacapture-main] Accessibility: please consider Sign Language (#1063)

== Accessibility: please consider Sign Language ==
Hello everyone,

This is a great move forward to redefine how to capture media on any platform. I only want to beg that media also contains language, such as Sign Language. Thank you so much.

But then, may I add some difficult questions?
- For us Deaf people, this will become crucial. A stream, what is a stream exactly? Only audio? What about Sign Language? IMO both are equal.
- And it's not only about Deaf and Sign Language. More and more people become hard of hearing or sit in a loud bar, prefer to receive a "stream of captions" etc.
- When muted, offer captions, in an alternative stream, for example.

We need to think further beyond black and white in this matter. I'd like to help more here as a Deaf Senior Programmer ...
