Thx Rob, That's a shame, since sending multiple streams is definitely not going to be scalable, despite the problems with synchronisation. I have a few more questions if you have the time.
1.Is there any active development or plan to include mux/demux into the server? 2.Are there any other Flash broadcasting methods that use different encodings that would be more accessible. 3.Producing a custom app means that that app has to interact with flash, and on the other end has to interact with Red5. What is the best way to do all that? I need a portable solution too, so clientside activeX is out of the question. 4.Would you suggest going full haul and producing an installation or can we remain in the realm of browser plugins. On the server side, I still need to have Red5 broadcast the streams so even if the contributors have installations or some fancy plugin installed I want the listeneres to be able to just use their browser this means that I need to interact with the Red5. How can I feed Red5 the data to be broadcasted I have seen there is an AudioData class is this useable/feasible? 5.What free formats are available with good APIs and fast compression? I need to know what I can use clientside that I will be able to re-use serverside because transcoding server side would be too slow... I have seen that FFMPeg has a variety of capabilities in encodeing FLV from different formats is it capable of (despite it's cost) of achieving real-time audio mixing? 6.Not wanting to reinvent the Wheel, and hoping that I can benefit from your experience I would like to know what already exists in this area, and whether you have any pistes to follow for the custom app?
