HTMLMediaElement.srcObject attribute

The srcObject attribute allows associating a MediaStream to a media element using a simple assignment. Previously, achieving this required first obtaining a URL associated to the MediaStream, and then associating this URL to the media element.

Comments

The spec specifies that it must be possible assign MediaStream, MediaSource or Blob objects to the srcObject attribute. However, Blink will initially support only MediaStream objects. All other browsers provide support only for MediaStream as well.
