In a sense it is the more general question just as you say, but what 
capabilities/settings at track level, apart from those that can already 
be dealt with on the MediaStreamTrack itself, would we see need for?

Width, height, aspect ratio, frameRate is already available at track 
level according to the current proposal in "Media Capture and Streams". 
But perhaps there are other capabilities, related to recording, that 
must be exposed?
