I think what Justin means is that if an m= line does not have any
candidates at the time of the offer (candidates will be supplied
during trickle ICE), then the m= line is given a dummy port of 9.
>From draft-ivov-mmusic-trickle-ice-01 section 5.1:

   As mentioned earlier in this section, Offers and Answers can contain
   any set of candidates, which means that a trickle ICE session
   description MAY contain no candidates at all.  In such cases the
   agent would still need to place an address in the "c=" line(s).  If
   the use of a host address there is undesirable (e.g.  for privacy
   reasons), the agent MAY set the connection address to IP6 ::. In this
   case it MUST also set the port number to 9 (Discard).  There is no
   need to include a fictitious candidate for the IP6 :: address when
   doing so.

If there are multiple such lines, port 9 can appear in multiple m=
lines, and if the offerer is not hiding its address, the corresponding
c= lines could contain the host address.
