I think we would have to: - extend the already included RTP GStreamer element to accept sbc and mp3 encoded streams. - wrap libsbc into a GStreamer element to do convert to do PCM to sbc. - create an a2dp Gstreamer element ..and that's all... Then any enabled GStreamer application would be able to natively stream mp3, or stream whatever other format using sbc. :-) Cheers, Fabien ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
