Re: Proposal and discussion for RtpSender.getCapabilities

For what "kind" means, Bernard wrote it better than I could have.

As for which "streams" this applies to, it indicates what header extensions
the browser is capable of sending, for all tracks and RtpSenders of the
corresponding kind.  Translating into "streams", it basically means "all
the streams".
