> The specs trump your reasoning, and with bug 1577505 fixed, and this issue resolved so that "playing" is changed to "potentially playing", Firefox is spec compliant wrt currentTime in a HTMLMediaElement playing a MediaStream.

Not sure what you are referring to specifically here. At Firefox when the first frame is received `timeupdate` is dispatched which apparently leads to `timeupdate` being dispatched at `HTMLMediaElement`. Chromium does not dispatch `timeupdate` when the first frame is received evidenced by `currentTime` remaining at `0`.

Did not ask for the code to be debugged. Just happened to be experimenting with mechanisms to push-pull, pull-push, or "drive" a `MediaStreamTrack` of kind video using `mute`, `unmute` and if necessary `timeupdate` of `HTMLMediaElement`, thus posted the code to contribute to the testing already being done, FWIW.
