Description

If you change the sources after the stream has already started, the video of all connected peers will freeze.

Any peers that try to reconnect will just get the last few seconds before sources were changed, then a freeze.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the source-management and peer reconnection paths: change sources after streaming begins, then reconnect a peer. Trace how the new sources propagate to connected peers and what state reconnecting peers receive. Done means existing peers continue receiving video and reconnecting peers receive the current stream rather than the pre-change frames.
