In particular I think the problems with video-chat were:
* There's no stream/VOIP support in Gabble (or was it Salut?)
* We don't have a video codec to use! We don't think we can handle
the CPU load of encoding and decoding Theora in real time. The
previous videoconferencing demo used h.263, but we're guessing we
can't ship that for patent reasons (although I don't think anyone's
done the research?).
If anyone's willing to hack on this, I think it'd be a really useful
project. Video conferencing was a killer demo when we hooked it up
a year ago, it'd be a shame not to be able to offer it.
The GIT source for the Video Chat activity is:
