Code change:
I cleaned up the language.

Cullen wants LS groups because that is what legacy gear understands. Magnus wants to use MSID, which carries this.
Discussed in DC: will test out the LS group concept, Jonathan will send text to the list and we will discuss. Concerns are that there is a potential for mismatch between what is signaled in LS groups and what is signaled in MSID. We also need to work out what to do in the absence of LS groups.
bug 32 is prob dup of this
pinged Lennox
Given the discussion on CNAME, no one in the room at IETF90 objected to the idea that LS group was MTI.
Plan here is update draft to say that when creating the SDP, everything in PC has same CNAME, and the things in the same MediaStream get put in a LS (lipsync) group. This will mean legacy stuff that support LS will do the right thing, and legacy stuff that does not, will simply try and sync everything.
Cullen to ping Harald to get his LG regarding the comment above (ie. regarding its interaction with MSID)
Just to add some clarity here .... this is what I think we decided. All the RTP in a given PeerConection will use the same CNAME. For each stream, If a stream has more than one track, then the JSEP needs to create a lip sync group (see URL ) to put all the tracks in a given stream into the same lip sync group.
Yes. If no lipsync group from the remote side, everything is synchronized. If only some tracks in LS group, the rest are unsynchronized. (Basically, if you indicate you understand LS, we take what you give us, all synced)
MT, would you be willing to write some text here?
Who has the token here?
Just realized there could be a problem. Consider A, who does not want to sync its audio/video, and B, who wants its video to be synced. A offers a=group:LS with no mids. B has to reply with a subset of the proposed mids, by 5888 rules. Therefore B's a/v won't be synced. I don't see a good reason to require this, but 5888 is pretty clear. The identification-tags contained in this "a=group" line MUST be the same as those received in the offer, or a subset of them (zero identification-tags is a valid subset). When the identification-tags in the answer are a subset, the "group" value to be used in the session MUST be the one present in the answer.
There's an issue with LS when using bidirectional media sections. If media stream X (from A to B) uses media sections 1 and 2, and media stream Y (from B to A) uses media sections 2 and 3, what should be the lipsync groups? Are lipsync groups unidirectional or bidirectional?
see comment above. 5888 says bidi, but that is crazy talk.
Indeed. Crazy. What is our plan of attack here then? Can we ask MMUSIC to fix this? Either by un-screwing-up a=group (which seems unlikely), by making a new grouping semantic, or by telling us that there is a better option.
JSEP reserves the right to contradict existing standards where necessary. Generally, it seems like the need for symmetry in a=group is semantic-dependent, and so fixing it later in 5888 seems possible.
So you are suggesting that we define a=group:LS as declarative: it applies to the media that is sent by the peer that includes the grouping. I can live with that, though I suspect it will cause considerable heartburn. It certainly complicates the grouping model considerably.
yes, essentially. I don't see any way to reconcile LS with reality otherwise.
Changing the semantics of existing mechanisms by declaring that they are changed without actually changing them is a dangerous process. A simpler alternative is to drop media section reuse when LS groups are present: If a particular media section is a member of an LS group, or if a MediaStream requires its tracks to be part of an LS group, don't use it for a track in the opposite direction. The legacy case of one audio section, one video section that is used in both directions will then require that we somehow turn off LS group generation.

text: sections as one BUNDLE group.  However, whether the m= sections are bundle-only or not depends on the BUNDLE policy. <ins> The next step is to generate session-level lip sync groups as defined in RFC5888, Section 7.  For each MediaStream with more than one MediaStreamTrack, a group of type "LS" MUST be added that contains the mid values for each MediaStreamTrack in that MediaStream. </ins> Attributes which SDP permits to either be at the session level or the media level SHOULD generally be at the media level even if they are identical.  This promotes readability, especially if one of a set of
