I've built videophones that do in-phone 3 or 4 way conferencing (bridging
and mixing the audio and video).  It can also be done without mixing by
forwarding.  I'm unclear on if that would be possible in webrtc; is there
any way to loop around or mix audio/video from one PeerConnection to another.
(You can always turn off AEC and loop the audio... ;-)
