I think image is just part of video (one frame of the video stream). If you take a look at: http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-webrtc-20111027/ and search for "photo" on the page, it looks like that is the intent. Prob it works like this - when taking a photo, the video stream is dumped to the canvas, then the user will click a button that can dump the current canvas to an image (canvas. toDataURL)
