It would be a normal track, but I definitely think it should be muted 
until RTP data allowing decoding and rendering starts arriving (which in 
turn could only happen after the sending app has done replaceTrack).

The muted -> unmuted transition would fire an event and would allow the 
app to optimize the UI.

(If the app on the receiving side instead just creates a MediaStream and 
wires it up to a video element, the element's poster would be shown 
until video starts arriving if I understand things right.)
