           Summary: Allow SourceBuffer.append() in "ended" readyState.
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

Currently SourceBuffer.append() doesn't allow calls in the "ended" readyState.
It was brought to my attention that it may be useful to allow appending after
endOfStream() is called because the application may want to increase the
quality of a region in the presentation.

If people think this would be useful, I propose that calling append() while in
the "ended" readyState will:

1. Cause MediaSource.readyState to transition to "open" and fire a "sourceopen"
on the media source object.
2. Allow the append() to act like it would if it had been called in the "open"
state.
