That's a valid point. So you think Radhika's proposal to only
negotiate codec types
but not codec parameters in the signaling path would cover all
realistic use cases?

I didn't have company email access during the weekend and I'm the author of
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-beck-rtcweb-alt-ic/. The idea
is to always use
only one RTCWEB server and authenticate/authorize unknown users by 3rd party
authentication. Like commenting on a blog using OpenID.
