Ok, that makes sense but it doesn't answer the first half of my
question. So if your answer also belongs to the example objects above,
where can I find updated specs or actual discussions? Is there an email
list I should subscribe to read that stuff? When do we expect that the
spec gets updated? What is the turnaround for it?
IMO it makes the code kinda hard to maintain as long as `{picture: true,
video: true}` throws an exception. You will have a mixture of
understandable asynchronous code, but also a mess with try/catch
statements around.

Just out of interest, have there been taken any notes which are
available for the public? It looks like I miss a lot of information
before I can really qualify the webrtc code by writing mochitests for
gUM and pc.

I see problems once we really open it up for developers in Firefox 20
builds. Fundamental things like the above mentioned issue should be
clear. Otherwise a lot of code would have to be updated/changed.
I can start such a list by asking all those questions step by step, but
I think that you and Randell have the most knowledge about differences
in our code to the spec which is currently available. That also includes
the above mentioned changes which haven't made it into the specs yet.
