In my view, canSendDTMF would be true if: a) the application supports sending of DTMF b) the particular PeerConnection has not negotiated away 4733 support (Before negotiation is complete, canSendDTMF must have some value. I picked "true" because that makes a little more sense to me than "false"). > > My view is the easiest thing to do is negotiate 4733 DTMF on all audio streams. I don't care much about if browsers can receive DTMF but it seems very useful. If we do have some sort of play out of generated tones, that sounds hard but whatever we do we have to make sure that the echo can not end up causing double presses. I assume some responders won't support 4733. So even if all browsers support it, canSendDTMF isn't guaranteed to be true always. > > > On Aug 3, 2012, at 6:01 PM, Harald Alvestrand <harald@alvestrand.no> wrote: > >> (wearing my co-Chair hat) >> I've discussed this with several people at the IETF meeting.
