+1. While polling is obviously much better than nothing at all, having
a change event would be quite convenient.

When you say "we", do you mean the application or the browser? If the
application has control over the throttling then that's OK.

With regard to energy levels, there are two main use cases:

* acting on changes of the current speaker (e.g. in order to upscale
their corresponding video and thumbnail everyone else)
* showing energy levels for all participants

For both of them, I'd expect granularity preferences to vary from one
application to the next.
