This is a matter of conformance.
If A-F get thrown away by the lower layers, because they conform to the
IETF spec, and the API spec requires them to be handled, the client as a
whole is not conformant to the API spec.

So the only thing that makes sense is for our requirement to track
what's in rtcweb-audio.

WRT clients' ease of handling: Next time you see a virtual keypad on
your screen, look for the A-F keys. That's where the real difficulty of
support comes in.
