Some more comments regarding relation between "live" and "muted" state of a MediaStreamTrack.

This has been discussed earlier in [1] and concluded that "muted" and "disabled" tracks should be considered as "live".

OK, so we should be able to use "live".

Yes It is done by modifying the statement.

I agree that the relation between 'live' and 'muted' is not defined in the spec. Since muted is not present in the readyState of the MediaStreamTrack, I thought that "muted" and "disabled" are part of "live" state only.

This would work for me. That would mean that we replace the sentences

"Set the VideoTrackList.selectedIndex to the index of the first
VideoTrack, in the VideoTrackList, that corresponds to a
MediaStreamTrack that is not muted or disabled. If no such VideoTrack
exists, set the selectedIndex attribute to 0."

with

"Set the VideoTrackList.selectedIndex to the index of the first
VideoTrack, in the VideoTrackList, that corresponds to a
MediaStreamTrack that has readyState 'live'. If no such VideoTrack
exists, set the selectedIndex attribute to -1."

and we're done?

(The caveat seem to be that the relation between 'live' and 'muted' is
not defined.)
