Re: [mediacapture-transform] Controlling channel mechanism is unclear (#24)

> 1. A native implementation of a sink may send them if it makes sense, but it is not required to.

I fear this is a recipe for interop issues and bad portability of the same web page/various browsers or various platforms.
Some web pages may for instance expect some signals that will not be provided by some UAs/platforms.

For instance, it is not clear when web pages should expect "request-frame" or when implementations should send this signal.
If "request-frame" can safely be ignored, why introducing it?

That does not mean it is a bad idea to expose such signals.
To make progress there, I think we should try to first more precisely define sink and source models than what mediacapture-main is defining. This is not a simple exercise though since browsers might have different understanding and implementations.
By doing this exercise, we should be able to get consistent support across browsers.
