henbos has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc: == Update description of getParameters() == The description of getParameters() is subtly misleading > The [getParameters](https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-pc/#dom-rtcrtpsender-getparameters)() method returns the [RTCRtpSender](https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-pc/#dom-rtcrtpsender) object's current parameters for how [track](https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-pc/#dom-rtcrtpsender-track) is encoded and transmitted to a remote [RTCRtpReceiver](https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-pc/#dom-rtcrtpreceiver). This seem to suggest that the parameters are what is currently being sent, but some parameters are actually preferences rather than law, in particular `codec` and `scalabilityMode`. - We may prefer to send H.265, but due to an HW error we may have fallen back to do AV1 instead. - We may have preferred to do L3T3_KEY, but unless we're doing SW VP9 we'll probably end up sending L1T3 or L1T1 instead. If the user wants to know what we're actually sending, they should look at `getStats()`, not `getParameters()`. We could clarify that by changing the cited text.
