Gstreamer source, which source I should use?

[Peter Hafner]

Hey Gent's,
I have a application that provides JEPG's Picture by Picture.
This application can write the bin-data to a FIFO, or stdout, or to a 
udp socket.
I need to transcode this MJPEG's to h264 video stream.
In the end, with a Hummingboard :-) and the internal VPU.
Using this plugin, https://github.com/Freescale/gstreamer-imx
The reason why compressing is, that I need to stream via Wifi.

Here, here some information about the device, that provides the stream.

If I'm using my application on desktop-machine,
I can watch the stream with gstreamer, and this pipeline!
gst-launch-1.0 -v udpsrc buffer-size=1000000 port=5006 ! queue ! jpegdec 
! queue ! autovideosink
Ok, I never try the recording or mixing.

My question is regarding udpsrc.
Is the udp socket in my application the "best" source for my 
"gstreamer-source"? Or should I think about, to use stdin/stdout.
Or via Fifo? How dos the gstreamer fdsrc working with Fifo, should I 
write always a full JPEG from my application?

Thanks for the hints :-)

Peter
