// of audio output (sink) devices.

// Note that device IDs as used in this API are opaque (i.e. they are
// not the hardware identifier of the device) and while they are
// unique and persistent across sessions, they are valid only to the
// extension calling this API (i.e. they cannot be shared between
// extensions).
//
// See http://goo.gl/8rOmgk for further documentation of this API.
