I just did a quick test by modifying the webview implementation in the
browser to always accept media access permission requests:
WebView {
onMediaAccessPermissionRequested: request.allow()
}
And this is enough to make audio recording just work (successfully tested with
https://voice-memos.appspot.com/).
Video doesn’t seem to work though, it will probably require more work.
The first time the browser requests access to the microphone, I get a trust
prompt saying: "Chrome input wants to record audio.".
This decision is remembered, but when I go to
system-settings>security>access>mic, there is an empty entry for the browser
(chrome input). The contents of /home/phablet/.local/share/PulseAudio/trust.db
is as follows:
sqlite> select * from requests;
Id|ApplicationId|Feature|Timestamp|Answer
1|Chrome input|0|1439981817195438084|1
This is not very user friendly, I guess system settings try to match the
application ID ("Chrome input") with an existing confined app, and
failing to do that it displays an empty entry. I wonder if we could add
an API to oxide to allow the embedder to override the application ID
that is passed to the query.
