Agree, and I think sometimes we may want to keep receive even in background.
For example, if I join a conference by WebRTC, and I hear something interesting and want to take some note for it. I may bring up app like Evernote and write down some keyword for later reference. I don't think it is good to just stop everthing when switched to background.

I'd like to discuss the scenario when the app is going to background. When the app calls GetUserMedia to get camera/mic resources then it switches to background. What should we do? I think we should turn off the camera and mic. Because 1. privacy 2. We have only one HW 3. power consumption The ways to turn off camera and mic may 1. Having a media service to control the HW resources. As I know, Sotaro will implement this service. 2. Before 1 is done, apps or WebRTC API should handle the situation. On B2G, camera app listens to "mozvisibilitychange" event to turn on/off the camera. But WebRTC cannot request apps to listen to "mozvisibilitychange" since it may be called in the web page. I don't think every page will handle it correctly. So that I think WebRTC API should handle it in the short term, ex, in MediaManager. How do you think? Please give me some feedback.
