Video Call doesnt use audio output option

[blackshadev]

Description

When video calling the windows default audio device is used instead of the audio device selected in the Riot settings menu.

Steps to reproduce

• Change the windows default audio device to something besides your headphones.
• Set the Riot voice & video audio output to your headphones
• Start a video call
• Notice the output it the windows default instead of the riot default

I checked this with Firefox and with the desktop client.
Moreover when doing a voice call, the device specified in the settings menu is used. So this seems like a discrepancy between the video and voice call.
