Add playoutDelayHint to webrtc receiver for smoother video playback
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 name
playoutDelayHint
property appears to have any effect on my testing for
Chrome 99.0.4844.51 on Windows 10. There appears to be an open issue to
add support for Firefox[2].
