[gst-devel] RTP Caps,base payloader and jrtplib

[burgerman at users.sourceforge.net]

Hi guys,

     I have gone through the RTP caps again described in
gst-plugins-good/gst/rtp/README and I see ssrc, timestamp start and
sequence number start all defined in the caps. They are ssrc,
clock-base, seqnum-base. These same values are randomly generated in
the base payloader class. Wim, why do we need this information in the
caps? and why do we need it to be done by the base payloader?
rtpbin/jrtplib already does all of this transparently. I don't see
why it needs to be in the caps, the generated values can be extracted
from rtpbin/jrtplib if needed by the clients, but why the caps?

Thanks,

Philippe
