If that "event" (or whatever) belongs to PeerConnection then the
reference to the MediaStream and/or MediaStreamTrack should also be
provided by the callback, so we end in the same case. The problem here
(IMHO) is having all the stuff on a single object (PeerConnection). Of
course I don't want to expose WebRTC related stuff into
MediaStream(Track), but adding everything on top of PC is not the
proper way to go (IMHO).

It could be relaxed/limited by the spec (i.e. just fire every 0.5
seconds). I don't get how a JS periodic timer can be better, but maybe
I am wrong.


Best regards.
