Hello WebKit-dev,

I'd like to ask for Webkit's official position on a change to the editors draft of the mediacapture-record specification to make it possible to request either constant or variable bitrate audio encoding from the MediaRecorder.

Specification: https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-record/#mediarecorder-api
Pull request & discussion of additions: w3c/mediacapture-record#185
Explainer: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10OheBob6lP7v-fO89g0A5F9BYnsMEU5Nkh4p-Bk0wMg/edit?usp=sharing
Chromestatus entry: https://chromestatus.com/feature/5730124735447040
A new enumeration (BitrateMode) has been added for specifying either constant or variable bitrate for audio encoding, MediaRecorderOptions has an extra field called audioBitrateMode for requesting a specific bitrate mode from the MediaRecorder and a field was added to MediaRecorder for retrieving the bitrate mode being used for encoding.

Thanks,
Simon
