This is feasible but requires some tuning. Will be eventually added (sooner than later).
However, from the point of view of the producer browser, take into account that having to encode a video stream with two different encodings (VP8 and H264) won't be very CPU friendly. Let's see how it goes.
Given that Safari is already adding VP8 support, this feature gets less important. It is not efficient at all anyway because it forces the client to encode twice the same source.
Let's close this.
Scenario (assuming the mediasoup room is configured with VP8 and H264 codecs in that order of preference):
transports
of type "send" and apply the preferred codec in them.producers
of type "video" and apply the same video track to them.consumer
plays the VP8 track.consumer
plays the H264 track.
