Seem like this question is way out of scope for MMUSIC. This is about some policy question at the application layer. Cleary the MMUSIC specs support things that play unverified media as well as applications that would not want to play it. > On Mar 9, 2017, at 1:10 PM, Bernard Aboba <[email protected]> wrote: > > In the W3C WEBRTC WG, an issue has been submitted relating to playout of unverified media: > https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc/issues/849 > > It has been suggested that if the browser is configured to do so, that playout be allowed for a limited period (e.g. 5 seconds) prior to fingerprint verification: > https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc/pull/1026 > > Section 6.2 of draft-ietf-mmusic-4572-update-13 contains the following text, carried over from RFC 4572: > > Note that when the offer/answer model is being used, it is possible > for a media connection to outrace the answer back to the offerer. > Thus, if the offerer has offered a 'setup:passive' or 'setup:actpass' > role, it MUST (as specified in RFC 4145 [7]) begin listening for an > incoming connection as soon as it sends its offer.

In particular, what is it permitted for an implementation to do with received data and media prior to verification? For example: > > 1.
