Re: No way to stop sending media but still displaying it locally

I haven't played around with it, but I think you should be able to do 
this by creating a new "you're on hold" stream from a video element 
using MediaElement.captureStream() (see 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-capture/2013Feb/0079.html 
-- still prefixed in Firefox; I'm not sure if Chrome does this yet), and 
passing the corresponding video track into RTPSender.replaceTrack(). 
When you want to unhold the stream in the PC, swap back to the original 
stream.
