Re: Summary of "What is missing for building real services" thread

Thanks justin for the hard work and the tentative deadlines,

Something that I don't see in the list but i would drove to see happening
is the capacity to read file and send them through a PeerConnection.
video file => MediaStream => peerconnection
audio file (or webAudio) => MediaStream => peerconnection

I think Silvia did some experiment with web audio and it was not completely
successful for received (remote) stream processing.

Would it the possible to put it on the list as well?

regards,

alex.
