Why not an enum here?

[Mikhail, 2015/11/11 13:36:04]

The intention is to keep API generic and flexible for adding more auth
mechanisms, pls. see
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1svs0p_b6KAIiBrKjaORsA2D8Pd84u8ksnTCfubYVV...

If more mechanisms are added the API can be very easily extended. It is
important for the documentation of this API to cover the expected authentication
mechanisms and how an application using them should use them. That is easier if
this is an enum. The fact is, in the Javascript bindings this becomes a string
anyways. Making it an enum simply means the list of possible values is
documented.

+    // Authentication information.

+    [instanceOf=MediaStreamTrack] object? audioTrack;
+    // The source audio track.
+    [instanceOf=MediaStreamTrack] object? videoTrack;

+    // |method| field contains the authentication method required by the sink for connection;
