It shows how to use "set-aux-receive" and "set-aux-send"
properties of rtpbin to set rtprtxsend and rtprtxreceive
Build 2 pipelines, one for rtpbin as a sender and one for
rtobin as a receive. Then transmit an audio stream.
It also drops some packets to activate restransmission and
check they are actually retransmited.
This property allows you to specify the amount of buffers
to keep in the retransmission queue expressed as time (ms)
instead of buffer count (which is the max_size_buffers property).
This unit test verifies that the rtxsend element correctly maintains
a buffer of already transmitted rtp packets and that it can
re-transmit all of them correctly on demand. It also verifies
that the limit of this buffer (max-size-packets property) is respected.
Several senders / one receiver
Similar than test_drop_one_sender but with multiple senders
mixed through the funnel element.
It drops some packets and checks that they are retransmited
correctly.
Test for one sender / one receiver
Build the pipeline
videotestsrc ! rtpvrawpay ! rtprtxsend ! rtprtxreceive ! fakesink
and drop some buffers between rtprtxsend and rtprtxreceive
Then it checks that every dropped packet has been re-sent.
It also checks that not too much requests has been sent.
The purpose of the sender RTX object is to keep a history
of RTP packets up to a configurable limit (in time). It will
listen for custom retransmission events from downstream. When
it receives a request for retransmission, it will look up the
requested seqnum in its list of stored packets. If the packet
is available, it will create a RTX packet according to RFC 4588
and send this as an auxiliary stream.
The receiver will listen to the custom retransmission events
from the downstream jitterbuffer and will remember the SSRC1
of the stream and seqnum that was requested. When it sees a
packet with one of the stored seqnum, it associates the SSRC2
of the stream with the SSRC1 of the master stream. From then
on it knows that SSRC2 is the retransmission stream of SSRC1.
This algorithm is stated in RFC 4588. For this algorithm to
work, RFC4588 also states that no two pending retransmission
requests can exist for the same seqnum and different SSRCs or
else it would be impossible to associate the retransmission with
the original requester SSRC.
When the RTX receiver has associated the retransmission packets,
it can depayload and forward them to the source pad of the element.
RTX is SSRC-multiplexed

This element and the underlying libshout2 library
can handle video media files too. The code already
handles video/webm so the name gets confusing. Also
add and use DEFAULT_FORMAT macro Instead of hardwiring
SHOUT_FORMAT_VORBIS at init

AUX elements are elements that can be inserted into the rtpbin
pipeline right before or after 1 or more session elements.
The AUX elements are essential for implementing functionality such
as error correction (FEC) and retransmission (RTX).

And especially also consider update versions, e.g. 10.5 with updates
will be 1051 or similar and thus bigger than MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5 but
still won't have the API we want to use.
Keep track of elements that are added to multiple sessions and make sure
we only add them to the rtpbin once and that we clean them when no
session refers to them anymore.
