I think I want something just slightly different and that is to send media that is data in the JS and to be able to hand media as data to the JS. If the JS happens to read / write that to a file that is fine with me but this allows the JS to operate on the data or synthetically generate media and opens the doors to the possibility of writing a codec in JS or NACL.
