In general the idea is to alleviate stuttering that can occur even without packet loss due to inconsistent packet timing by adding a small buffer before playback. This specific setting seems only partially supported and has changed names several times. In the latest extensions spec[1], it is defined as simply `playoutDelay` but only the slightly older name `playoutDelayHint` property appears to have any effect on my testing for Chrome 99.0.4844.51 on Windows 10. There appears to be an open issue to add support for Firefox[2]. [1] https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-extensions/#rtcrtpreceiver-interface [2] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1592988

Since this adds latency it may be more desirable to make it optional or add it to the configuration, but I will leave that up to maintainers. I also think it's somewhat (but not wholly) redundant if GRVYDEV/Lightspeed-webrtc#30 is implemented. And lastly I'll just emphasize that this will not fix all stuttering. Specifically it will only address stuttering that occurs even without packet loss; any stuttering caused by packet loss will remain. |
