SRT[0] is an open source transport technology[1] that optimizes
streaming performance across unpredictable networks.
Although SRT is based on UDP, it works like connection-oriented
protocol. However, it doesn't mean that the SRT server or client
is necessarily to link to a receiver or a sender so, here, the
pairs of source and sink elements are introduced.
- srtserversink: SRT server to feed SRT stream
- srtclientsrc: SRT client to get SRT stream from srtserversink
- srtclientsink: SRT client to send SRT stream
- srtserversrc: SRT server to listen from srtclientsink

If they were not ported after 4+ years it seems unlikely that anybody is
ever going to need them again. They're still in the GIT history if
needed.

This was used by MSN messenger in prehistoric times, it's safe
to say no one needs or wants this any more these days. For
decoding old recordings there's still a decoder in ffmpeg.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
