Description Dominique Hazael-Massieux 2013-05-30 14:02:40 UTC 
From what I understand of the spec, the ended attribute on MediaStream should be a readonly attribute — it only ever gets updated by the browser, not by the application.

Note also that the notion of the "finished" state of a MediaStream object makes rather unclear references to the stop() method that is now on MediaStreamTrack, and given that a MediaStream object can contain several MediaStreamTrack, it's not obvious that the described condition makes sense.
Comment 1 Dominique Hazael-Massieux 2013-09-02 09:44:18 UTC 
(this depends on our general approach to ended state for mediastream)
Comment 2 Adam Bergkvist 2013-09-03 09:39:16 UTC 
Regardless the outcome of the ended/inactive discussion, this bug was fixed in the 20130704 release [1].

Closing as resolved.
