           Summary: ImmutableStreams is unsufficient, also need "AlwaysSend"
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: 0.8
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-spec
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: tester at tester.ca


After doing some testing. It seems that with Google Video calls, if one does
not start sending video soon enough, enabling the video later may break things.
But, with the new WLM calls, it is possible to disable/enable the camera during
a call (it does proper SIP negotiation for that). So we have two different
cases of ImmutableStreams, I propose adding a "AlwaysSend" to Gabble for Google
Video calls. That also means the CM will start sending from the start if that
property is set. Changing the recv part is still possible (ie drop incoming
buffers to reduce processing).. although we can't do too much of that so as to
not lose keyframes.. We could also call it "ImmutableDirection" or something.
