Sound output. An issue with WebRTC has been that you can't select which audio device you want the sound to output to. That's a big deal when you have multiple sound devices in the computer and you need to direct the WebRTC audio output to a specific device for mix-minus, etc.
Doing a bit of looking around, it seems that Google is aware is this issue and has it listed as a task for the dev team. The update I saw was dated Jun 14, 2014. I didn't look to see if any progress has been made other than that.
Though, I have multiple audio output devices on many different systems, I, also, have many different systems that are used in the production of the broadcasts I'm involved with. That being said, I do not share the same requirement. Hopefully, a solution for those that need it will be soon put in play.
The Source Connect developer acknowledged that the inability to select an alternate sound output is a problem. Google Hangouts have that capability, but no WebRTC client that I've seen has it. If you can use the default Windows speaker output for WebRTC, there is not a problem. If you have two programs that rely on the default speaker output, there is a problem.
