When trying to broadcast and then watch the same live stream, either from a different window, or another computer, a series of connection issues arise.

• 25% of the time, the first chunk of video will appear, but then pause immediately after that.
• 25% of the time, the video will continue as per normal for anywhere between 10-25 seconds, and then eventually stop.
• 50% of the time, the stream won't connect/play at all.

(There is usually far more success connecting to the peer if you're connecting from the same computer/browser, rather than from a remote connection)

In the devtools console, the most common error that appears is a premature close error from pump. This happens on both the broadcast end, and the viewers end.

In Chrome's webrtc-internals page, the most common error that appears is the following:
setRemoteDescriptionOnFailure - Failed to set remote offer sdp: Called in wrong state: STATE_SENTOFFER.

The broadcaster will continue to append new video chunks to the hypercore feed, but after connection issues arise, the video stream won't start working again. Clients are connecting to signalhub a-ok, so the assumption here is that there are webrtc connection issues between the two peers.

I can confirm that both broadcast and watch work fine in Beaker v0.8.0-prerelease.4

Great work, @louiscenter!
