Re: Gstreamer e DCCP: issues related to ccid-3

This problem (or "feature") is well-known, Ian has also repeatedly pointed out
to this. Basically, what your code needs to be able to do is cope with EAGAIN,
i.e. when the TX buffer is full and CCID3 decides to throttle the sending speed,
the write call needs to be repeated.

I haven't checked the VLC code lately (it will have such a test), but I know that 
Andre Noll developed a very clever way of handling this, by using a "generic chunk queue" 
for audio chunks which could currently not be sent. He implemented this in paraslash
(file dccp_send.c), the sources are on http://www.systemlinux.org/~maan/paraslash/

For this most recent feature, it is best to use his git tarball:
