--- Comment #2 from Víctor M. Jáquez L. <vjaquez at igalia.com> ---
As far as I understand, the UIProcess request for the Media Capture permission, afterwards it queries for the available capture devices and which of them handle the constrains.

In the case of GStreamer, querying the available capture devices requires the launch of gstreamer environment in the UIProcess and queries the Video4Linux devices available and their capabilities.

If we want to move GStreamer/V4L2 operation out of UIProcess, we would need to add an IPC mechanism, iiuc, which I guess is what Mac does but with their platform API, not a WebKit IPC.
