RTCRtpCodecCapability options vs parameters

[ibc]

RTCRtpCodecCapability

options of type Dictionary

Codec-specific parameters available for signaling.

parameters of type Dictionary

Codec-specific parameters that must be signaled to the remote party.

Honestly, no idea which the difference is :)

parameters are those things that the remote party must know about where as options are either optional parameters to be sent to the remote party or other local/informational options for a particular codec (but the remote party need not know about it).

@ibc can I close down this question issue now?

[ibc]

Sure, if the spec clearly describes the above explanation (I've not checked the text regarding it in master).

[robin-raymond]

Hmm... I don't think the spec is clear enough. I think we need need a tweak:

We should likely change:

options of type Dictionary
Codec-specific parameters available for signaling.

To:

options of type Dictionary
Codec-specific parameters that may be optionally signalled and are available as additional supported information or settings about the codec.

... or something like that...
