Yes, I think we're in agreement.

No, it was only that when I read the proposal it was unclear to me if it 
would work this way. Let me put it this way: I like it to work in the 
way that the MediaStream's and MediaStreamTrack's on the sending side 
are reflected at the receiving side sort of automatically (i.e. apps 
should not have to deal with stuff like PTs, SSRCs to make it happen - 
just forward opaque blobs).

I probably misunderstood something here.

I have nothing against that!
