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).
