I'm not challenging the spec text, only its relevance to Martin's case.

   source -> track -> sink

Camera fill-light switch = source property.
PeerConnection negotiation window = sink property.

While I find support for peerConnection being able to change a source 
*within constraints*, I find no support for sink properties trumping 
constraints.

Instead I read: "Many sinks may .. take these [source setting] changes 
in stride. ... Others like the Recorder API may fail as a result of a 
source setting change." [1]

I take this to mean the sink fails, not applyConstraints.
