True.

Sure. Just wondering about how to signal those RTP parameters
modification to the remote peer. In some cases that's needed. In
others it's not. Something like this comes to my mind:

rtpSender.changeSomething(
  {
    foo: 100000
  })
  .then((changes) =>
  {
    if (changes)
      mySignaling.send(changes);
  })
  .catch((error) =>
  {
    console.error("could not apply new settings");
  });
