Sure you can utilize gstreamer for both your client as well as server. The best part of using gstreamer would be already existing rtp stack & flexibility to add more features in future much easily. Althought based on your description its not very clear what is that you are not sure of gstreamer ?

However, not just through a proxy, but also between multiple clients. It should be possible to: - switch between "channels", - listen to multiple channels and - transmit to multiple channels. This is -- I at least think so -- not really the responsibility of a library like GStreamer, but I'm thinking of using GStreamer for the multimedia part, which means: Capture audio from whatever input device (microphone for example), do some filtering on it, send it to an own-written server that also uses GStreamer to maybe apply some other filters on it or route it to other output streams which are then sent to the target clients. The question here is how far can I go with GStreamer? I know that P2P connections are without a doubt no problem, but does that also count for client/server architectures with multiple (any maybe really a lot of) clients?
