Let me rephrase my questions:

3. If I generate an offer using this API and then send it to the web server,
which will deal with SIP end of things, and will get multiple answers in the
same dialog, how do I process those answers via this API? What I need is an
ability to provide an answer update to the connection. Should I just remove
old streams and candidates and add a new ones?

4. Same thing with an offer that created multiple dialogs. I want to clone
the connection and add streams and candidates to it. I don't think this is
possible with the current API.

Few new questions:

5. What is the priority order for generating candidates when multiple
STUN/TURN servers are specified? How would this be affected if we also have
proxies? I am not sure this is part of any specification so far and probably
should be part of RTC spec defined by IETF

6. How do we deal with CODEC negotiated parameters? It is possible to have
codec level parameter that needs to be negotiated via offer/answer exchange.
There are also codec level parameters that are affected by stream level
parameters (like iLBC mode=30 that only makes sense with ptime dividable by
30). Is it going to be implemented in JavaScript? This might not be the best
idea, since this will require JavaScript to have a detailed knowledge about
each codec implementation provided by the browser. For third party call
control, it would be more robust to provide a way to return actual codec
parameters selected by the browser so that they can be returned in the
answer.
