Raw Normal View History

* What is UDP src/sink?
This plugin is *not* meant to be a professional stream broadcast
solution, like icecast or realaudio or whatever.
This plugin is basically for testing and simple hacks: raw audio
or packetized gsm should be fine.
* Shortcomings
Even given our modest ambitions, the current code is doesn't handle
caps negotiation robustly.
* Todo
This plugin should offer different modes for caps negotiation: none,
udp, or tcp. The udp mode should include the caps every five packets
(approx). The tcp mode can do bi-directional negotiation.
Perhaps this plugin can be the example of how to do caps negotiation
via a point-to-point protocol.
