webrtc h264 test program

I wrote a small test program to try out unidirectional transfers with WebRTC from GStreamer to an HTML5 page. It works well with Chrome. But with Firefox, it fails.

I noticed some oddities in the SDP. The SDP that is sent from webrtcbin to FF contains a=sendrecv, a=rtpmap:96 H264/90000, and also an ice-ufrag. The SDP that is sent back from FF to webrtcbin however does not contain an ice-ufrag, and instead has a=rtpmap:96 H264/90000 and a=inactive for the mid:video0 stream.

Now I do know that FF can handle h.264 over WebRTC, because h.264 works with this example: http://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/pc_test.html but I do not know why, or why it doesn't work with my test.

I attached my test code. I do not know that much about SDP or WebRTC, so maybe I am missing something. Or perhaps this is an SDP related bug in webrtcbin / gstsdp?

The example comes with its own libsoup based HTTP server, and does the signaling by itself via websockets. Just open the link printed in stderr in Chrome, then in Firefox.
