Given that Blink is dropping the media attribute from <source>, and Hixie is planning to subsequently drop the attribute from the spec, I don't think there's any remaining need to expose this information in the form of a MQ. It still seems useful, but it should be exposed by some simple JS API returning the actual number of channels. ~TJ
