In Gecko, object URLs from MediaStreams are currently not auto-revoked, so the MediaStream will not be garbage collected until the URL is explicitly revoked. I'd be surprised if Webkit/Blink were different. However, the examples [1][2] don't revokeObjectURL(). The specification [3] didn't explicitly mention auto-revocation, so I suspect that was a bug in the examples, but IIRC the FileAPI went through some changes re auto-revocation and I don't know what exactly it was specifying when Media Capture and Streams was drafted.
