I don't think this makes any sense and certainly adds to implementation complexity. Lets say we have tracks A , B, and C. And tow streams S1 and S2. If A and B are in S1, and B and C are in S2, it effectively mens all three are synchronized so why not just have all there in a single stream? > > I am missing the use case for a single track in more than one stream. The classical example is when one uses GetUserMedia to get audio and video, and one wishes to extract only the video stream and show it in a preview element, while both the audio and video should be sent to the remote site via a PeerConnection. In addition to the fact that one wouldn't want audio in the preview, one may want to mute the A/V stream going to the remote PeerConnection while keeping the preview pane alive. > >
