Yea, the first step is to make my iMX6 based device be compatible with the
communication channels (and data formats, i.e. VP8/opus/etc..) 
used/supported
by webrtc.  The difference will be that (in certain modes) there is no 
user on
the device; it will be headless and autonomous, so I need to be able to feed
media to and extract media from the underlying webrtc base platform on 
the iMX6.
Does Chromium provide any non-browser type of hooks into webrtc down below?
Thanks,
