I think the status of that bug means that the underlying oxide component 
supports it (the webkit rendering engine) however the webbrowser-app 
doesn't have the UI to operate it yet, it needs to grow the pop up 
button to approve use of camera/microphone, once it has that then it 
should be able to turn them on for oxide, which would be pretty cool as 
things like http://talky.io should start working.
