Re: Issue 81: Separating audio and video capabilities

Currently, getCapabilities is defined as follows:

partial interface RTCRtpSender {
static RTCRtpCapabilities getCapabilities ();
};

partial interface RTCRtpReceiver {
static RTCRtpCapabilities getCapabilities ();
};

The implication is that getCapabilities() returns both audio and video capabilities in a single RTCRtpCapabilities object.

Within GetUserMedia (current public editors draft), getCapabilities is currently not defined as static.  Why was there a need to differ in terms of general approach given ORTC depends on GetUserMedia?
