> I'd still like to see an example of an application that benefits of this possibility.
In [today's meeting](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1JNs-s02_bv8tz0wVpKB_Uczq91qfG6pTNasBxabEmv0/edit#slide=id.g2a5d4ac53e0_6_20) the early decision example shown was:
```js
getDisplayMedia({appAssistedSurfaceSwitching: "include", …})
controller.onsourceswitch = event => {
video.srcObject = event.stream;
};
```
But this will [glitch](https://jsfiddle.net/jib1/7L4wg5dt/) in all browsers, even for same-type switching, because it reruns the [media element load algorithm](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#media-element-load-algorithm).
A late decision seems inherently needed to fix this glitch for the subset of same-type switching. E.g.
```js
controller.onsourceswitch = ({stream}) => {
if (!compatibleTypes(video.srcObject, stream)) {
event.preventDefault(); // Use switch-track model
video.srcObject = stream;
}
};
```
Glitching may similarly happen with other sinks, like MediaRecorder or WebAudio.
