Is there anything like this ?
I'd like a media element to be able to select the multi-channel
version of some audio only when the device will output multiple
channels and select a stereo version otherwise (rather than
downmixing). This would save network bandwidth as well as
providing better quality (if the custom-mixed stereo audio is
likely better than the end-device down-mixed version). Seems
like this would be handled in the resource selection algorithm
by checking if the media attribute of the <source> "matches
the environment", but I can't find how to specific audio
characteristics in a media query.
I don't think such a thing exists, but you could request it
for Media Queries Level 4:
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/mediaqueries4/
You'd want to post to www-style for that, though.
