I would much rather see a new dedicated "capture" chooser, and new chrome client calls.  It should also not use RenderFileUploadControl.

I don't think "File Upload" is necessarily the correct text to display in the window; perhaps "Media Upload" or "Audio|Video|Image Upload" (depending on the media type requested). As for the UI to choose between use of a file and use of a capture device, I suggest that before displaying a file chooser, a dialog of some sort should appear that asks the user where they want to get the requested media from: the filesystem, or a capture device. I think this dialog should list all available options (the filesystem and EACH INDIVIDUAL CAPTURE DEVICE that can be used). This should be bypassed when no capture attribute is specified. The dialog text could be something along the lines of this: "The page at www.example.com has requested that you upload a media file. Which source would you like to u
 pload this file from? [Hard Disk], [Canon HD-AV470], [Sony Capture-Card-530] [Cancel]" Any takers?

That good idea. 
I thought that your proposal could be implemented within each port and it's just the implementation choice of each port. Also the display text can be changed by the implementation of each port.

But, I'll trying to find out new implementation to accept reviewers' proposal.
