RE: [rtcweb] Constraints on a track in a a given PC

Yes, you're right.  I'd forgotten that.  But applyConstraints can be called at any time, and always replaces any existing constraints with the newly specified ones. We can certainly define 'output' constraints for Track and use applyConstraints to apply them.  Isn't the problem renegotiation or inefficiency? If you call addStream with stream-level constraints and then applyConstraints to tweak the constraints at the Track-level,  the Track-level constraints might force an immediate renegotiation, which would be ugly.  Conversely, if you call applyConstraints first,  addStream's constraints might overwrite them.  Could we handle this by prioritizing Track constraints above the addStream constraints?

It does. But that manipulates the "input" constraints (those specified at getUserMedia time), not the "output" constriants (those specified at AddStream time).
