Fwd: Re: WebRTC requirements for Audio WG

I thought I had included the audio WG when responding to this mail, but 
detected now that I had not. Sorry.

To me F13, F14, F15 and A13, A14 as well as A15 are the most relevant.

F5, F6, F9, A8 and A16 (when mixing by combining several tracks in a
MediaStream) are in scope for webrtc.
F16, F17, F18 and A16 are already covered by the html5 media elements if
I understand correctly.
