Re: [webrtc-stats] Add frameBitDepth to RTCInboundRtpStreamStats and RTCOutbountRtpStreamStats (#516)

It makes me wonder how much information is stored in the decoded stream, or if that question even makes sense (maybe it's not that clear cut since decoding means loss of information)?

Then the second question is if the conversion adds or removes bits per pixels. If the decoded stream ends up decreaseing the bpp maybe that is a bug, but either way, this would be the effective quality of the stream, so that sounds worth reporting.

If the decoded stream is outputed into a contaiing format that has MORE bits per second than the actual stream, then it would seem misleading to output the final container's bpp since that is in fact not tied to the amount of information that we just decoded.

Another way to look at this is: What do we _want_ to measure?
