[ilugd] peercast
Golly goshers! While building a bandwidth monitor for MTNL today I was thinking of a way of (ab)using a peculiar MTNL quirk: viz: uploads are not capped on any of their broadband plans. It's the quintessential Indian blood in me ... Now, a while ago during a post-presentation discussion at a Freedel/Freed do I'd suggested a way around the broadcast limitation of an internet radio server (ie the maximum number of streaming listeners that it can cope with) - the proposed solution was p2p broadcasting. I didn't know if it existed already, but the idea was that a p2p broadcasting network would work so that the more popular a station is, the better the service will be. Anyway, I forgot about it for a while. Until today. Today I stumbled onto the peercast applicaton, (http://www.peercast.org/), which has been around for a while. Also does video. Neat. More at http://www.peercast.org/info.php It means that anyone can be an internet radio/tv station that can grow without worrying about bandwidth. I find that flabbergasting.

[ilugd] Google changed license of libjingle from BSD to GPLv2

You might need to apply a patch for libspeex to be detected correctly. Post here if you've any issues with compilation. I tested it on my Ubuntu Hardy (amd64) box.
