Flash Player 27 and the new feature audio output selection

Hello,

so I just tested on windows 10 with edge, IE11, yandex, firefox, seamonkey, safari (yeah old one), opera  all 32/64 bits

and everything is ok. only win xp don't show any output on all browsers.

good job guys

Chrome on WinXP is particularly problematic, since it no longer receives updates.  I'm pretty sure that you need both a current version of Flash Player and Chrome (the feature required new support in Chrome) in order to use this feature.

Also, for Chrome, this feature is most useful for web conferencing applications, where you might want to choose between speakers and a headset.  Chrome will not provide Flash Player with a list of hardware unless you authorize it to do so, but Chrome will not prompt you to do that authorization unless the content you're viewing calls an API that would require that access (e.g. if you're using a webcam app, the dropdowns will be blank until the content attempts to access the camera/microphone, at which point Chrome will ask you to authorize Flash for access to those resources.  Once (and only after) you've approved the access for the running movie, will you get a populated list of values in those UI dialogs.

It's also worth pointing out that Chrome recently made a change that requires content attempting to access the camera and microphone to be served securely over HTTPS.  If the content requesting access to the camera/microphone stream is not served over HTTPS, Chrome will simply not display the authorization prompt.

It *is* possible for content that doesn't use the camera/microphone permissions to pop the authorization dialog in Chrome by using the new AudioDeviceManager APIs (this makes it possible for developers to provide an in-game/app audio selection UI), but for legacy content like games, this feature probably isn't super useful in Chrome.

It does look like Chromium also supports this feature.  If you're stuck on an old version of Chrome, you might think about picking up a current version of Chromium instead (admittedly, we're not even allowed to have a WinXP machine in our building at this point, much less attached to the network, so I haven't tried to see if current Chromium versions are installable on WinXP).

I'm still looking into the other targets.
