Do we have a use case for that? Seems very much in the same vein. The use case is having the browser pick the right camera automatically when the user starts a video conference or starts a photography/camera app. The Web page will usually know whether the user wants his face or his environment to be transmitted. This differs from knowing what kind of audio is expected in that the page rarely knows the latter. You use the same video conferencing app for music as for chatting. You don't tend to use the same app for when you're recording your face as opposed to when you're recording your environment. Naturally, UAs should allow users to override the hint from the page. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
