Although this makes sense from a UX point of view, this sounds highly
impractical to implement: oxide merely implements interfaces exposed by
chromium for access to camera/microphone (actually not even for
microphone, where it talks to pulseaudio directly, no oxide-specific
code there). So it doesn’t actually catch events that request video/mic
access.

Additionally, what if the two permissions are being asked with a 3
seconds delay (for any possible reason, including network lag)? We’d be
back to the original situation. So where do we draw the line for this
kind of situation?

Let’s remember that this bug will affect users only the very first time
they use the browser to access a webRTC service (or even possibly never
if they used the browser to access microphone and camera separately in
the past). It’s a perfectly valid bug, but its importance is probably
low.
