Are you talking about the perspective of a Javascript programmer, or the 
perspective of a browser writer?

The case where it can occur is if you get the same stream (same ID) via 
two different PeerConnections, or get your own streams reflected back at 
you.

I'm not sure it's a problem for the Javascript programmer. But it argues 
for stating the addtrack API in terms of stream objects, not stream IDs 
(since there may be two objects with the same ID).
