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 nameplayoutDelayHint
property appears to have any effect on my testing forChrome 99.0.4844.51 on Windows 10. There appears to be an open issue to
add support for Firefox[2].
