[media-source] Consider adding support for apps to get metadata about what is currently buffered (#259)

wolenetz has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/media-source:

== Consider adding support for apps to get metadata about what is currently buffered ==
A "[SourceBuffer Introspection API](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XBSu9x-z8gHwh0R_0Py7N8OuRz9QpNAld9AvQt8NSpY/edit)" proposal was discussed at FOMS 2019 in October, but I don't currently find a spec issue tracking further discussion and potential inclusion in MSE v2, so I've filed this issue.

This API would enable greater ability to have precise interop tests, as well as give apps much more information about what is buffered so that they can workaround potential content or API implementation issues.

Comments welcome, especially: is this or something like this something which you would really want available in MSE? Are we missing your use case? Or is this feature unnecessary?
