Yep.

When using WebRTC, we are using BUNDLE, and the BUNDLE spec says that 
media sections can move into and out of bundles.

When they move, there's nothing anywhere that says they change SSRCs.

So my interpretation is that everything inside a WebRTC media 
description (unless it refuses bundling altogether) has to be part of 
the same RTP session.
