Telepathy channels with the MediaSignalling interface require the Telepathy client (UI) to do the actual streaming; using Farsight2 via telepathy-farsight <http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/releases/telepathy-farsight/> is the recommended way to do that. If you hand the channel over to telepathy-farsight then you won't have to interact with MediaSignalling at all. telepathy-stream-engine is a daemon that does the same job, using the code that evolved into telepathy-farsight. We no longer recommend it for most uses. > If there is some documentation or example explaining the link between > farsight, telepathy, stream engine, I would be glad to read it. The source code of telepathy-farsight (or telepathy-stream-engine) would probably be the best reference for how MediaSignalling works. In the latest telepathy-spec release (0.17.19) I rewrote the introduction to that interface to try to at least explain why it works the way it does. The MediaSignalling interface is rather an awkward API for historical reasons - we intend to fix this in a later version of telepathy-spec.
