Re: Media Capture Depth Stream Extension - call for review

One thing we need to be careful of is terminology.
In particular, the (in retrospect unfortunate) term "stream" probably 
needs to be avoided, except in the strict sense of MediaStream. It means 
too many different things to too many people.

Example:

In this case, it's plain from context that Anssi is talking about 
MediaStreamTracks, but it is very easy to slip into talking about 
streams - and it will confuse the issue.
