I actually think that MediaStreams are a pretty good place to add a 
record method (returning an object that actually does the recording, as 
roc suggested). Actual containers require their streams be synchronized 
(which is something a MediaStream enforces that a list of tracks does 
not), and the generic events like "ended", etc., that we're already 
producing on a MediaStream for a collection of tracks are exactly the 
kind of inputs that recording object needs, so it seems like it would be 
nice to re-use them.
