1294957 - Implement ReadableStream / WritableStream

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1128959

(Core :: Audio/Video: MediaStreamGraph, defect)

Description

[u572625]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0
Build ID: 20160726073904

Steps to reproduce:

quote: "This specification provides APIs for creating, composing, and consuming streams of data. These streams are designed to map efficiently to low-level I/O primitives, and allow easy composition with built-in backpressure and queuing. On top of streams, the web platform can build higher-level abstractions, such as filesystem or socket APIs, while at the same time users can use the supplied tools to build their own streams which integrate well with those of the web platform."

@cpearce, @jesup, @pehrsons -- What are your opinions on implementing this?

Is it really an MSG thing? It seems like its being implemented in bug 1128959.

We could discuss integration with MediaStreams but that would need some spec work first?

Correct.  AFAIK only fetch API integrates ReadableStream.  No current spec integrates WritableStream (especially since WritableStream is not stable in the streams spec yet).

Having progressive fetch is desired by several partners who do streaming video.

I've been wanting to use this for a variety of things, none of them being urgent:
- A VideoWork{let,er} spec
- Overhaul of `AudioContext.decodeAudioData` to be able to partially decode a file
- Extension of `MediaRecorder`

This has nothing to do with the MSG, though, this spec is about non-real-time data streams.
