[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#823312: chromium: WebRTC not working

[Paride Legovini]

Package: chromium
Version: 50.0.2661.94-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I already reported this problem in #770659, but as its cause is probably
different from the one for which #770659 was opened I find appropriate to file
a new report.

WebRTC seems to be broken in 50.0.2661.75-2 and 50.0.2661.94-1. It was working
in 50.0.2661.75-1 and it is working in 50.0.2661.75-1~deb8u1, so it probably
has something to do with the new way of linking with ffmpeg introduced in
50.0.2661.75-2.

I normally test the webrtc functionality here:

https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/echotest.html

When I try to open a webrtc call I get this console message:

ConnectDataChannel called when data_channel_ is NULL

but this not a problem:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=579430

WebRTC seems to be a cursed feature, and it's a pity as it would finally
allow truly free (libre) audio/video calls.

Cheers,

Paride
