I'm guessing that you are working with a DM365 IPNC. There is decent
support for this platform on the TI e2e forums and I believe you
shouldn't really be having any issues with the live555 streaming bits.

However, if there are other reasons, because of which you would prefer
to go the gstreamer way, have you considered modifying av_server
itself and introducing a shm based node, like others have suggested,
which you could integrate into a gstreamer pipeline?

I guess you have seen TI's wrapper libraries, which abstract almost
everything, including camera, codecs and display APIs. It would
probably be a good idea to live with these.

If you haven't already seen it, you might find this useful:
