Input from the device's built in camera / microphone.  That's the relevant 
discussion to have when we talk about the camera (webRTC) APIs.  Maybe 
explicitly requested access is generally ok, but implicit access may or may not 
ever be ok (say for trusted core apps).  I suspect that's a long thread by 
itself.
