<p>
This specification supports {{MediaDecodingType}} values of {{file}},
{{media-source}} or {{webrtc}} as well as {{MediaEncodingType}}
values of {{record}} and {{webrtc}}. In [[webrtc]], signaling and
media paths are distinct, so that media may flow between peers without
passing through a web site. It is therefore necessary for applications
to negotiate communications parameters between peers, including the codecs
to be used to send and receive media. A WebRTC peer can send media
received by dozens or even hundreds of receivers, and applications can
rely on external services, including video conferencing servers,
transcoders or audio conferencing bridges. To enable communications at
scale, it is necessary for applications to ensure that configuration is
consistent across media senders and receivers, rather than just allowing
values of {{record}} and {{webrtc}}.

To make it possible for participants to send and receive media at scale,
it is necessary for applications to ensure that communication parameters
(including codecs) are consistent across senders and receivers. This
requires negotiation between application peers, rather than just allowing
browsers to "pick the one they like best".
