Should AudioSession be able to specifiy the output speaker and/or route options (a la sinkId)?

It might be handy for an application to specify the audio route on the audio session instead of each individual media element.

TPAC 2024 proposal: add API to set speaker route in AudioSession.

[SteveBeckerMSFT]

Microsoft is proposing and prototyping a similar API on MediaDevices:

partial interface MediaDevices {
  Promise<void> setDefaultSinkId(DOMString deviceId);
};

Thanks for the links.
A few things have been discussed at TPAC:

• This is worth fixing
• This is essentially the same proposal as Microsoft proposal
• Having this API within AudioSession can be better if/when we allow AudioSession objects being created from JS (to support two groups of audio in the same document, each group having a different speaker route for instance).
