Getting makes sense if an app wants to interface to a mixer. As Colin P 
is fond of pointing out, mixers exist, and can be used to realize some 
of the scenarios in the scenarios document.

Setting only makes sense if an app wants to *be* a mixer, since you're 
only supposed to set it when you're merging input from multiple remote 
sources.

I haven't understood any of the scenarios in the scenarios doc to 
require this - my instinct is to say "let's not do setting for version 1".

Please explain the use case. I don't get it (and I *think* I was in the 
same meeting).
(It will surely make it easier to test for SSRC collisions, but I don't 
get the other usage).

I think stats will give you that - the main purpose I saw with that is 
to be able to correlate stats generated by a WebRTC browser with stats 
generated by some other tool out in RTP-land.
Are there other use cases you're looking for?
