            Bug ID: 22222
           Summary: Impossible to bind manually created MediaStream to
                    getUserMedia
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebRTC Working Group
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media Capture and Streams
          Assignee: public-media-capture@w3.org

>From what I recall, the constructors for VideoStreamTrack and AudioStreamTrack
were defined so that one could build a MediaStream out of them, and then
request permission via getUserMedia.

That notion is still vaguely mentioned in the spec:
"Those actions only happen after the developer has requested that a media
stream containing "new" tracks be bound to a source via getUserMedia(). Until
that point tracks are inert."

But getUserMedia doesn't currently offer a way to get consent for such a
manually constructed MediaStream.

We need either to define it, or we should remove the constructors (or at least
explain why they can be used for and how).
