webrtcTrackGatherTimeout not respected for WHEP sources #5027

@eselman19

Description

@eselman19

Which version are you using?

v1.15.0

Which operating system are you using?

Linux amd64 Docker

Describe the issue

When using WHEP sources, the track gathering timeout is hardcoded to 2 seconds and ignores the webrtcTrackGatherTimeout configuration setting

Describe how to replicate the issue

  1. start the MediaMTX with config containing:
    ...
    webrtcTrackGatherTimeout: 5s
    ...
    100:
    source: <wheps_source>
    sourceOnDemand: yes

  2. observe that track gather timeout happens after 2 seconds making WHEP sources unreliable
