[x3d-public] mediaDeviceID accessType ought to be inputOutput

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

A common field signature in Sound component appears to be incorrect:

  SFString [out] mediaDeviceID

This field is not device output stream but rather identification, which an author may need to set or get. Thus accessType inputOutput [in out] is more appropriate.

Examples include

  *   16.3.2 X3DSoundDestinationNode
  *   https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4Draft/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-CD1/Part01/components/sound.html#X3DSoundDestinationNode

We also need to ensure that the prose definition for mediaDeviceID appears in abstract types.  From 16.4.3 AudioDestination:
"The mediaDeviceID field corresponds to the ID parameter functionality defined in W3C Web Audio API [W3C-WebAudio]<https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4Draft/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-CD1/Part01/references.html#W3C-WebAudio>"

Once decided, this is easily fixed and then changes can be applied.  Please advise if you agree, thanks for considering the problem.

Tracking the issue as Mantis 1369,

all the best, Don
