Each application deals with predictable set of scenarios (ones it produces) and interfaces with predictable set of non webrtc devices. These external devices are under control of the application developer. Application developer is responsible for interop with these devices. What is needed is predictable media and signaling generated by webrtc devices running the same application. With negotiation and SDP backed into the webrtc device it is very hard to achieve. So, for me as webrtc developer let me develop a negotiation scheme that works for me and make sure it stay working regardless of the browser type or version. Right now controlling webrtc application feels like driving the boat down the river by tickling the captain. _____________ Roman Shpount
