MediaStreams can have tracks added and removed at any time; they're 
rather flexible.

Recorder has certain issues with that, since some of the formats we want 
to record to don't do things like multiple video tracks where some of 
them start midstream.

The recorder spec will have to say what it does when such things happen 
(either error out or continue recording only on the tracks present at 
initialization).
