Details

If you call getUserMedia multiple times in the same browser tab with different microphones as the audioSource then only the first call works. Subsequent calls result in "NotReadableError" "Failed to allocate audiosource". Indicating that the microphone is already in use even though it isn't. This is preventing us from allowing users to switch from one microphone to another. This in combination with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=940011 means that we can't even stop the initial audio track and then call getUserMedia. So to switch microphones the user has to refresh the browser which is obviously not ideal. I put together a small sample application that tries to call getUserMedia with all of the available audioinput devices that come back from enumerateDevices. This results in errors in Firefox but works fine in Chrome and Safari. https://output.jsbin.com/feruzuv
