Media Capture and Streams question - applying constraints

The latest editors draft of getUserMedia (Media Capture and Streams) [1] says in section 4.3.2 [2] 

[[
Constraints are independent of sources. However, if the sourceType is "none", the readonly attribute is true, or the remote attribute is true, the track's constraints will not be applied to the source.
]]

Is it true that muting is not a constraint, so a source (remote or not, read only or not) can always be muted for a given sink?

I think the draft needs an example and more explanation regarding the characteristics of read-only and remote sources and what the limitations are and mean in practice.
