RIST TR-06-1 is a specification for video streaming made by the VSF
group. It is using a subset of RTP specification to which some
modification has been made to improve RTX behaviour and avoid any need
for signaling. The plugin implement ristrtxsend / ristrtxreceive element
which are the RIST specific equivalent of rtprtxsend/rtprtxreceive and
ristsink / ristsrc which implement rist transmitter and receiver. The
RIST protocol is meant to be used in unidirectional way. Typically, MPEG
TS over RTP is used.
Currently we support unicast and multicast streaming according to the
specification. This patch does not include any bonding support yet. The
ristsrc element introduce rist:// URI handling in parallel to it's
property configuration interface.
