Re: [webrtc-pc] Add setTargetJitterBufferDelay method to RTCRtpReceiver (#2138)

This sounds like an interesting new feature, but a new feature nonetheless.

I worry it's a bit late to be considering new features in 1.0. New features take time, and we've mostly been focused on finishing 1.0 over the last year, which I think means saying no to new features at this point.

I also have some concerns with this API. It's essentially an API for JS to make browsers stutter.

How web compatible is it to outsource control of our jitter buffer length? As a non-dominant vendor, we sometimes see web sites not testing their site with every browser or platform, so giving this tuning control to someone who may never test its effect on our browser, isn't terribly appealing. When things stutter people blame the browser.

I'm not immune to its benefits, just making a point that it might take a while to work out the details, which might be better done in an extension spec?
