IRC is fine. The system isn't hard I was just giving some
suggestions.

On another note after this release I would probably like to finally get
all the RTP stuff into gstreamer CVS, as well as remove the redundant
code in some of the base classes that was left for API compat. Also
update those docs on the gstreamer website.

This includes rtpbin, rtpjitterbuffer and rtpdemux. As well as the new
audio payloader base class. As a note rtpbin can now compile either
with or without jrtplib, depending on how much RTP functionality you
need. Currently they are in farsight darcs.

Anyways we will talk more about it in detail on IRC after this freeze
is done.

Philippe
