Is the browser supposed to do this? How would the two ends agree on the signaling protocol? I thought that the point of SDP was to solve this kind of problem. You may have a better solution in mind, but I haven't been able to figure out what it is.
Sorry for missing this in the flood. SDP does not solve the problem
of how the signaling channel is built. That is always the
application's problem. JSEP still requires all these actions to occur
in much the same way. In this regard, both specifications are
essentially identical.
