Good point. Browsers have iframes and tabs in which I can render web
pages of different
sites in parallel. The browser has to deal with the case when more
than one JS client
tries to access the microphone or speaker.

Your first case is easy. I simply open a new tab or window and make the call.
Consultation calling should be easy, too: I have two browser windows,
one with party B, one
with party C. I could talk to them in turns by simply switching between windows.
Conferencing would require that the browser can move media streams
between its JS instances.

I'll go through this old list of IN services and check where my model fails.

I still refuse to understand RTCWEB as a MEGACO with javascript syntax..
