RE: CHANGE: Use a JS Object as an argument to getUserMedia

Hi

I agree with Tommy. Right now, once you have a MediaStream you can start
using it. If getUserMedia returns a stream directly, it would have to be
empty (no tracks), and tracks would have to be added later. I think it
would simplify things (e.g. MediaStream playback and sending with
PeerConnection) if a MediaStream is immutable with regards to its track
list.
