+Description: tool for RTP based streams
+ sydra is a toolbox which allows you to set up multiple bidirectional
+ Video/Audio streams from external locations.
+ sydra has been written to be used for the Elevate Festival in Graz
+ Austria in order to involve external locations to present themselves
+ at the festival.
+ .
+ This package contains sydra-rtp the basic utility for the task which is
+ based on GStreamer and is written in C.
+ The sydra-rtp utility creates a gstreamer pipeline to send or receive
+ RTP-based Audio/Video streams. For a bidirectional connection 2 instances
+ of sydra-rtp are required on both sides of the communication. sydra-rtp has
+ automatic client detection capabilities in the form of keep alive messages.
+ These message are sent out by receivers to request RTP packets from a sender.
+ The sender will send RTP packets to one or more receivers which request
+ the stream. It also uses the keep alive messages to remove stale client
+ 'connections'. A receiver can also request to be removed from the list of
+ receivers. This ensures a fast and clean shutdown.
+ The keepalive messages are also a simple way to work around NAT and
+ firewalls (UDP hole punching).
