Re: [mediacapture-record] Ability to tell MediaRecorder to maximize frame rate (#177)

Note that if the encoding lags, and you don't drop frames, you have to buffer video.  For a short time and a small mismatch, this may be ok, but it rapidly becomes untenable especially on memory-constrained devices.
If you want to prefer consistent framerate when recording a live source (as opposed to a pull-on-demand-from-a-file encode), you have to let something else bend, like downscaling the video.  You could add a "prefer framerate over resolution" hint/control (framerate, resolution, auto(default) perhaps, or remove auto and make resolution the default to match current impls)
