Again, that would be done via constraints:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-alvestrand-constraints-resolution-00#section-4

See Section 3.1 for examples involving gUM... the draft doesn't have any 
examples, but these same constraints could be applied to incoming 
streams using the settings API currently under discussion in the W3C. 
It's perhaps an open question whether or not a <video> tag should 
propagate back such constraints in the absence of any explicitly set 
ones... but that's a question for the W3C.
