What service are these credentials for? Does the Stun server need login
credentials?

I looked into GSList a bit and found a singly linked structure with a
"gpointer" member for the data. In this case, are these instances of the
"NiceCandidate" struct being returned to me?

Right now I'm just in the research phase. My goal is a custom client &
server that enables some remote administration features for my companies
range of products... Of course, there are a million more ideas this enables!
