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). 88501 1 stefan.lk.hakansson 2013-05-31 07:23:43 +0000 My view is that we should define how to bind manually created MediaStream to getUserMedia. It is valuable in a WebRTC context. 91982 2 harald 2013-08-13 12:41:04 +0000 My view is that we should remove the constructors until a complete use case and solution (with explanations of how to handle the corner cases) is constructed and proposed. 100958 3 stefan.lk.hakansson 2014-02-20 13:28:59 +0000 There has been no activity looking into this. I agree to Harald, let's remove the constructors. 103222 4 stefan.lk.hakansson 2014-04-01 13:14:04 +0000 In the latest Editor's draft the constructors are removed. Closing the bug.
