I'm under Debian, and I have both libsrt and libsrtp installed and 
srt-tools. Couldn't find srt-libs though...


Another thing I have noticed with the server "timer": I can see by 
adding a timeoverlay that the stream is kind of paused when there aren't 
any clients. The srtsink seems to block.

Which is not a behavior I desire when I compare to RTP, I want it to 
keep running and to have clients be able to connect at any time.

And if I add a leaky queue before it I get the timer to run without 
stopping, but then the client doesn't work properly: I get like a single 
frame and then nothing.
