Following up on the JSEP discussion on b= from Monday:

Does anyone know whether b= in an offer represents the value the offerer
wants to send, or receive?
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-mmusic-sdp-mux-attributes-04#section-6.3
seems to indicate it's a send declaration, but I was previously under the
impression that it represents the amount to be received. RFC 4566 is
ambiguous on the matter [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4566#section-5.8]
