Re: [rtcweb] m=section recycling and a=mid

[Suhas Nandakumar <[e-mail]>]

Hello Christer

  Completely agree with you

My point with the above examples was

  "recycling of m=line should take into account its existing BUNDLE
membership and JS user's preference on requiring the added media track to
be BUNDLED or not"

This would imply, as suggested by you,

  - remove the mid from a=group:BUNDLE line if the JS user doesn't want the
new track to be BUNDLEd

 - or if the mid value is changed, then add the new mid value to the BUNDLE
group if the JS user want's the new track to be BUNDLED

- or just retain the mid value and its BUNDLE membership for the new track,
if it is going to be BUNDLEd


Cheers
Suhas
