All, the discussion at the last VI [1] (re-)confirmed that many see the need for an API surface that allows the app developer to tell (hint to) the UA what kind of content it is (or perhaps rather its characteristics). There were discussions on whether the API surface should be on the track or on the sink, and it was also said that it should be explained that using this API really means that the intent is to override the UA’s own classification of the content’s characteristics. There is currently one written up proposal for this API surface, the “MediaStreamTrack Content Hints” document [2], which adds the API on the track. At the VI [1] there were also persons indicating they would prefer to have the surface on the sink, but we have not yet seen a concrete proposal for that. In the interest of making progress we would like to see any alternative proposal (in some form, e.g. an email) before March 25th in order to be able to have a discussion comparing the different approaches. If no alternative proposal surfaces we propose that the WG adopts [2] as an Editor’s Draft (which basically means it is moved to the https://github.com/w3c/ github space).
