The handmade patch

I start apologizing if i did something wrong, i followed the wiki
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/SubmittingPatches to see how i should add
new plugins to gstreamer, but the instructions are for cvs and I'm not very
used to git yet. What i understood was that i should add my plugins on bad, and
them create a patch with the changes on configure.ac and the new files added.
Since i was not able to build a patch from git i just created a tar with my
modified configure.ac and the new files that i added, on my system (Ubuntu X86
9.04) it configured and compiled with success.

What i want to contribute is simply a G723 pay/depayloader and a silence
remover. But the plugins are very bad :-), i have some tests and I'm actually
using these plugins already but they do not have consistent tests, and they are
my first plugins, so they must be filled with ugly and odd things. Neither of
them are very complex, but i hope they can be usefull to someone. The G723
payloader only works with 6.3kb/s packets, i do not work with 5.3 kb/s and
treat both packets would add complexity and consume some time that i dont have
right now.

The removesilence plugin will basically filter the stream, he will outputs only
voice, fixing the timestamp so long periods of silence wont generate
synchronization problems. Gstreamer already has cutter, but he was not much
able to do what i wanted, i wanted to get a recorded audio and hear only what
people where speaking, not the silences (pretty commom on phone conversations).

The only file i changed is configure.ac, all the other files must be only
added.

I hope that the plugins get added and may help someone, and i hope to
contribute more on the future.

best regards,
Katcipis
