776823 - Audio continues to be recorded even when audio is paused via getUserMedia

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 774771

(Core :: WebRTC: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Steps:

1. Go to https://people.mozilla.com/~anarayanan/gum_test.html with getUserMedia enabled
2. Select Audio
3. Start recording audio
4. Pause the audio
5. Wait a few seconds and make a few sounds
6. Resume the audio

Expected:

On pause, I'd expect that resource locked for use of audio recording would be released for other devices to use. On resume, the resource for audio recording would be reacquired. The audio recording should not play the sounds from step 5.

Actual:

The sounds do play from step 5. My hunch is that on pause, we still lock access to the audio recording device, even though we are not actively using it in this case.
