Project Member Reported by srnarayanan@chromium.org, Jul 11 2016 
Version: M53 Dev 53.0.2785.8
OS: Linux

What steps will reproduce the problem?

(2) Turn on the "Desktop Share with tab source" and "Disable Desktop Capture Picker Window Old UI." flags 
(3) Go to https://test.webrtc.org/manual/peer2peer/, and tap on Screen Capture button

What is the expected output?
1. 3 tabs should be seen - Your Entire screen, Application Window, Chrome Tab
2. Share Audio checkbox should be seen in 'Your Entire Screen' and 'Chrome tab' sections

For linux, we did not develop the functionality to capture system audio (namely the audio associated with full screen share.)

Thus we do not display the "audio share" checkbox for consistency.

As linux is not a widely used platform, we decide not to waste time on that so far.

If there are really use cases, we can re-consider this issue. So I change this to a feature request bug.

Sure. Since the capture system audio for Linux hasn't been implemented, for consistency reasons across all platforms, I would recommend having the 'Share audio' checkbox in the 'Your Entire screen' section displayed, but disabled.

But I'm not sure if this would result in further confusion among the end users.

Is this a dupe of  bug 635944 ?

Summary: Support System Audio Capturing On Linux (was: 'Share audio' checkbox missing in the new desktop capture picker UI in Linux)
No.
This is actually a feature request, not regression. 
As we currently do not support capturing system audio on Linux, this bug says it is better we have such functionality.

As not too many Linux users, this bug is put on low priority.

Updated the title to be less confusing.
