We recently changed createOffer/createAnswer to be async, since they may need to reach down into the media layer to get their information. Since setLocal/setRemoteDescription need to reach down to actually set the supplied descriptions, it seems like these operations will also need to report their success/failure asynchronously. Suggestion: Like createOffer/createAnswer, allow callbacks to be specified to indicate success/failure: e.g. void setLocalDescription<http://dev.w3.org/2011/webrtc/editor/webrtc.html#widl-PeerConnection-setLocalDescription-void-SdpType-action-SessionDescription-description>( SessionDescription<http://dev.w3.org/2011/webrtc/editor/webrtc.html#idl-def-SessionDescription>description, optional voidCallback successCallback, optional PeerConnectionErrorCallback failureCallback); void setRemoteDescription<http://dev.w3.org/2011/webrtc/editor/webrtc.html#widl-PeerConnection-setRemoteDescription-void-SdpType-action-SessionDescription-description>( SessionDescription<http://dev.w3.org/2011/webrtc/editor/webrtc.html#idl-def-SessionDescription>description, optional voidCallback successCallback, optional PeerConnectionErrorCallback failureCallback); successCallback would be invoked upon successful application of the description. failureCallback would be invoked if the description was a valid description, but could not be applied at the media layer. An exception would be thrown if the description was not valid (e.g. failed to parse). If failureCallback was invoked, the session's media state would be kept as it was before the call. (This may involve rollback, if the description was partially applied when the failure occurred; another option would be to simply make this a fatal callback). localDescription and remoteDescription would return the previous description until the new description was completely applied.
