GObject.Parameter

[Olivier Crête]

Hello,

The whole GObject Introspection thing is a bit of a disaster.

I added some APIs to try to make it work, but I can't properly test it
because I can't get make install to work on pygobject, and yes, you need
to patch it.

So first, apply the patches to pygobject from these bugs:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684062
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684060
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684059

Then, try the new API in this branch:

http://cgit.collabora.com/git/user/tester/farstream.git/log/?h=gi-fixes

The API is fs_stream_set_transmitter_ht() and it takes the transmitter
parameters as a GHashTable, see the python example for how to use it...

I'm eager to hear about your progress

Olivier
