Re: Issue 200: Incoming media prior to Remote Fingerprint Verification

What would be cleaner is actually passing the media but labeling it as
"untrusted". This way statistics will be properly updated and the decoder
will be kept in the "warm" state ready to play the media when it becomes
authenticated.

I would agree that decoded media should not be passed to the media track
and should not be played o the user until the remote identity is verified.
