No current stable browser supports the Stream API (formally known as <device>), so in practical terms — you can't. The lack of examples using it is a consequence of this.

If you want to play with it, you have to use development branches of Chrome. There is a demo of voice input here.

A quick search returned https://labs.ericsson.com/developer-community/blog/beyond-html5-audio-capture-web-browsers, which contains the device element you mentioned.
