Description j.chetwynd 2013-01-28 19:10:20 UTC 
where more than one camera is available,
the author may wish to provide options.

currently there is no method to limit options.

for example on http://www.gnote.org two cameras can be connected and both videos displayed on the homepage,
however,
the visitor with only one camera connected,
still gets two requests....

wfm recent Chrome.

Please bring these proposals to the media-capture list, and not to the buganizer.

#1 Harald it is not appropriate to close bugs because you wish them to be discussed on the list.

This bug is not invalid, there is a problem with the spec as it stands, and has been implemented.

You may wish to discuss it on a list,
please feel free to take it there, and reference this bug
bugs filed are reported on the list in any case.

frankly as a volunteer, not an employee, I frequently do not have the time,
for bugs, I prefer the bug reporter, and have used it for well over a decade....
one usually gets a definitive decision at some point.

regards

Seems like this belongs to Media Capture territory, not WebRTC. Besides, if I understand correctly the requested functionality is part of later revisions of "Media Capture and Streams".
