Re: [webrtc-extensions] Exposing decode errors / SW fallback as an event (#146)

Would be useful to cover this in the joint meeting slides. 

In WebRTC, it might make sense to indicate that software failover occurred, but not as the result of an error (not a decode error or a resource exhaustion problem). 

In WebCodecs it is not clear if this should be exposed. If hwAcceleration = "no-preference", is set, software failover occurs without an error or other notification. If hwAcceleration = "prefer-hardware" then there is no automatic software failover, just an error to tell you why (e.g. resource unavailability vs. decode error).  Not sure if an error should be surfaced just because software quality is better.
