He doesn't. These are stats for a PeerConnection, not for a MediaElement.

I think the app needs to "know" which PeerConnection to interrogate for
a given <video> element - after all, the app was the one to connect
them, so it should be possible.

Once you know which MediaStreamTrack carries the video for that element,
you should be able to pass that as a filter argument to GetStats, so
that you can avoid wading through irrelevant statistics.
