iOS camera roll video with PhoneGap?

Now that Mobile Safari on iOS 6 supports capture and media library selection for photos and videos with the HTML5 input element is it possible to select videos with PhoneGap's camera.getPicture method?

<input type="file" accept="image/*, video/*" capture="camera" />

If not, a new camera.getMedia method which allows either media type would be great.
