Re: What would you like to see in WebRTC next? A low-level API?

I really am not an expert when it comes to A/V but there's a timestamp
field in the RTP... if the API would allow to retrieve that value
(.currentTimestamp) when sending and wait for it when receiving
(.waitForTimestamp(timestamp))... shouldn't that work?

Cheers
