Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch recordrtc@5.6.2 for the project I'm working on.

stack is {
"next": "^13.4.1",
node: "18.16"
}

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

Thanks for the fix, will use this too, but looks like the PR for the code change hasn't been merged in 12 months
