This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In Media Capture and Streams spec, in section 10 Event summary [1] (non-normative) while explaining overConstrained event, it is stated as "The affected track(s) will remain un-usable (in the "muted" readyState)", readyState referring to MediaStreamTrack.readyState. But MediStreamTrack.readystate has no muted attribute, instead this statement can be modified to "The affected track(s) will remain un-usable (in the "muted" state)" to match with the other parts of the spec (without any link to MediStreamTrack.readystate).

I think we can just say "muted" and have it as a link to where the muted concept is explained in the spec. I'm not sure we should say "un-usable" in the text. A muted track renders silence or blackness and whether that's usable or not is up to the application.

The only reason, that I suggest to put muted state is to attain uniformity with the remaining parts of the spec. (In many of the remaining places of the spec state is used along with muted/unmuted). > I'm not sure we should say "un-usable" in the text. A muted track renders > silence or blackness and whether that's usable or not is up to the > application. yes we can remove un-usable and make the stentence as below "The affected track(s) will remain "muted" (link to muted as proposed by Adam) until the application adjusts the constraints to accommodate the source's capabilities." or "The affected track(s) will remain in muted state until the application adjusts the constraints to accommodate the source's capabilities."
