Hello there,
My stream receiver is now working;
under request, I will share it here:
(forgive my bad practice to paste code in the mailing list)

=== hellostream.c ====

/* video stream player - xname 2012
compile it with:
gcc -Wall hellostream.c -o hellostream $(pkg-config --cflags --libs
gstreamer-0.10) */
