Description

captureAudio, much like captureImage and captureVideo, uses an intent to perform its action (recording audio). However, Android does not come with an audio recording app by default. The other two are not an issue since every phone has a camera app. Right now captureAudio just fails if you don't have the app installed. Only real solution is to implement an audio recorder. Not sure if we want to do that or just document this quirk.
