No way to specify remote constraints?

Hi,

getUserMedia() allows us to set mandatory constraints for 
locally-captured video, but what about remote videos? I opened two 
endpoints with mandatory constraints of 1080p and indeed the local video 
rendered at 1080p, but when it reached the remote end it came in as 
720p. I understand that this is likely happening due to limited 
resources, but it brings up an interesting question: shouldn't we have 
constraints for remote streams as well?

Say the remote video stream is captured at 1080p but I only need it to 
send 320x240 (the user is not speaking) shouldn't I be able to 
communicate this to the remote end?

Thanks,
Gili
