[Announce] Release of the DCCP Plugin 0.6 for GStreamer

2008-07-06 Thread Leandro Sales
Hello list!

 I'm pleased to announce the version v0.6 of the DCCP GStreamer
Plugin. Please, let me know if you have any problem on running
the plugin, suggestions and improvements that you provided for it.
The main news for this release is that the plugin can now support
multiple connection in the server element and share the same sockid
between to GStreamer elements.

 What is GStreamer?
 ==

 GStreamer [1] is a library that allows the construction of graphs of
media-handling components, ranging from simple Ogg/Vorbis playback to
complex audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.
Applications can take advantage of advances in codec and filter
technology transparently. Developers can add new codecs and filters by
writing a simple plugin with a clean, generic interface. GStreamer is
released under the LGPL.

 What is DCCP?
 =

 The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) [2] is a transport
protocol that provides bidirectional unicast connections of
congestion-controlled unreliable datagrams. DCCP is suitable for
applications that transfer fairly large amounts of data and that can
benefit from control over the tradeoff between timeliness and
reliability.

 It is a message-oriented transport layer protocol that implements
reliable connection setup, teardown, ECN, congestion control, and
feature negotiation. It was published as RFC 4340  by IETF in March,
2006. Linux had an implementation of DCCP since version 2.6.14 and
this continues to improve with each release. The latest official
version of the DCCP code can be found at [3] and at [4].

 What is DCCP Plugin for GStreamer?
 ==

 It is a plugin that allows transfer data over the network via DCCP
for GStreamer. According to all the tests that we proceeded, the
plugin is able to stream audio files, such as mp3, audio captured from
the microphone and raw data files.

 CHANGELOG
 =

 - Adding support to many client connections to dccpserversink.
 new property: wait-connections - Wait for many client connections
   flags: readable, writable
   Boolean. Default: false Current: false
 - Adding sample for sharing socket id between two instances of an element
 See folder examples/call
 - Adding sample of send MP3 stream.
 See folder examples/mp3Stream
 - Changing the name of the property sock-fd to sockfd.
 - More code refactoring and some internal fixes to remove some warnings

 TODO List
 =

 - Improve the implementation of the send mechanism adding the
Paraslash solution based on queue

 How to contribute?
 ==

 Please, contact me at leandroal [at] gmail [dot] com

 Where is DCCP Plugin?
 =

 The DCCP plugin for GStreamer is under version control of the
E-Phone. The E-Phone (Embedded-Phone) project aims to develop a VoIP
client for Maemo platform based on DCCP transport protocol. In this
project we are also implementing the CCID-4 [5] IETF drafts on the
linux kernel.

 Development:
 http://garage.maemo.org/projects/ephone

 Mailing list:
 http://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/ephone-discuss/

 Download:
 https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=297
 or directly from
 https://garage.maemo.org/frs/download.php/4252/gst-dccp-0.6.tar.bz2

 How to use it with gst-launch command line?
 =

 A basic example to stream a multimedia file using ccid-3:

 * Server:
 gst-launch -v filesrc location=music.mp3 ! mp3parse ! dccpserversink
 port=9011 ccid=2

 * Client:
 gst-launch -v dccpclientsrc host=localhost port=9011 ! decodebin ! alsasink

 -- We also tested with mpg123, to use it: mpg123 dccp://localhost:9011

 Please, refer to the src/examples_app/README file for more examples.

 Is there any application examples?
 ==

 Yes, refer to the examples_app directory of the source file.

 Requirements
 

 - Linux Kernel with DCCP enabled
 - GStreamer
 - Additional GStreamer Plugins to make the example app works

 Best regards,
 Leandro.

Re: Send-Only Accounts in Modest

2008-07-06 Thread Mike Lococo
 Back on topic, am I really the only one with a mail setup like this?  I 
 thought it was a moderately common arrangement.  Or do other folks have 
 the same issue and are just being quiet because they don't have a solution?

 Keeping quiet because I don't have a solution, but watching in case someone 
 has one :-)

OK, I was hoping I was just being dense and that a solution/workaround 
was available that I wasn't finding.  I've filed a request for 
enhancement bug in bugzilla.  Go vote for it if you'd like to see this 
issue resolved.

 when I find a network I can use.

For just a send-only account setting the incoming server to 127.0.0.1
seems to work fine for me. If you open up the main application you get
the annoying popups but there isn't much need to do that. If you just
compose and send email it stays quiet about it.

I should have been more clear in the message that started this thread. I 
did try using bogus mailserver information, and confirm that it does 
work inasmuch as you can send and receive messages.  However, Modest 
throws two popups on startup/new-mail-check per bogus account, which are 
very annoying and not possible for an end-user to disable.

I think there's a valid RFE here to provide either true sender 
identities, or the ability to disable automatic checking (both on 
startup and for the check new messages button).  The latter would be a 
fairly trivial fix, although the former is probably the right thing to 
do in the long-run.
