Build - 11/18/2013 1.2 Buri

STR

1. Go to http://mozilla.github.io/qa-testcase-data/webapi/webrtc/gum_test.html in tab #1
2. Go to http://mozqa.com/qa-testcase-data/webapi/webrtc/gum_test.html in tab #2
3. Request gUM audio in tab #1 & grant permissions
4. Request gUM audio in tab #2 & grant permissions
** Note - at this point you'll get HARDWARE_UNAVAILABLE in tab #2
5. Release the mic in tab #1
6. Reload tab #2's page
7. Request gUM audio in tab #2 & grant permissions

Expected

Playback should start, indicating that the microphone was acquired.

Actual

HARDWARE_UNAVAILABLE is fired, even though the microphone is available.

This isn't a blocker, as this is a bit of edge case & easy to workaround. The workaround just requires killing tab #2 & opening a new tab with that same web page.
