--- Comment #18 from Jerry Smith <jdsmith@microsoft.com> ---
I like the proposal to have a cue for video track changes for ad insertion
scenarios.  This was discussed during MSE spec development, but not
implemented.  Pre-buffering for ads is possible today, but its problematic for
a JS client to smoothly switch from one currently playing sourceBuffer to
another.  A new cue could allow JS to schedule changes between two or more
sourceBuffers, with switches smoothly executed on enter/exit times by the UA. 
The cue could also trigger enter/exit events to allow any JS specific changes
as well, including removing played content from sourceBuffers. 

I also believe a provision like this would be helpful in resolving a concern
for HbbTV using MSE.  There may be some time urgency in resolving this.
