Once gstreamer has the codec (both, an encoder and decoder) and also support for payloading and depayloading it, Empathy/Telepathy/Farsight will automagically use it. > I'm asking, because I've justed stumbled across the Open SVC implementation, > http://opensvcdecoder.sourceforge.net/, which has been demonstrated to work > in mplayer.
