When building with --disable-webrtc, I get this build error:
{
dom/media/systemservices/MediaParent.cpp:169:40: error: no matching function for call to 'do_QueryInterface'
      nsCOMPtr<nsILineInputStream> i = do_QueryInterface(stream);
                                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../../dist/include/nsCOMPtr.h:188:1: note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'nsCOMPtr<nsIInputStream>' to 'nsISupports *' for 1st argument
do_QueryInterface(nsISupports* aRawPtr)
^
}


This is a bit cryptic, but I get this hint from a bit further down in the build-error-spew:
{
../../../dist/include/nsCOMPtr.h:380:7: error: member access into incomplete type 'nsIInputStream'
      NSCAP_RELEASE(this, oldPtr);
      ^
[...]
../../../dist/include/nsIChannel.h:25:7: note: forward declaration of 'nsIInputStream'
class nsIInputStream; /* forward declaration */
}

Looks like we're just missing an #include to define what nsIInputStream is. I suspect in builds with WebRTC enabled, we get that #include indirectly from some other header. But not if you have --disable-webrtc.

(Note that this isn't the only issue I'm currently hitting with --disable-webrtc -- I also hit bug 1200477. But this one looks independent & easy to fix.)
Attached patch trivial fix: add #include (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Here's the (trivial) fix -- just add the #include for this type, so that we don't end up using it with only a forward-declaration to tell the compiler about it. (It's entirely appropriate for us to have this #include here, since this type is used in this file).

(Tangent: note that we *do* already have an include for nsI*Line*InputStream.h. I initially expected that that should be sufficient to provide nsIInputStream.h, because I thought it was a proper subclass -- but it is not. They're just two separate interfaces that both derive directly from nsISupports, and neither #includes the other.

So we can't get away with just including one of them.

Er, I'm reposting to tweak the #include order a bit.

Now this neighborhood of nsI* #includes are in alphabetical order, and also in the more logical order of "input, [special-type-of-input], output".

Thanks! Presumably it's on purpose that nsILineInputStream does not inherit from nsIInputStream (I see a lot of other interfaces inheriting from it, but not this one)?

Yeah, I'm not sure -- I haven't worked with either class before. Anyway, for now, an #include fixes the build error, and I'm not going to worry about the inheritance thing. :) Thanks for the review!
