[Nice] nicesrc outbuf overwritten before read

[Youness Alaoui]

Hi,

I hope I can help you with your issue, but I'm not sure exactly what's going on.
First of all, you want to do VoIP using gstreamer? then why not use farsight
directly ?
the set_relay_info should not affect in any way the bug you are describing so I
don't think/see how it's related.
Also, the code does not loop internally, so when the read_callback is called,
and g_main_loop_quit is called within it, then the mainloop should quit and the
callback should not be called twice.
Can you add debug messages in the read_callback and before+after the
g_main_loop_run and get me proof that that's what's happening?
Also maybe assign NULL to outbuf after its pointer is copied into *buffer, and
print the value of outbuf in the read_callback to make sure that it is actually
NULL all the time.
Also, what is the exact behavior you're getting, so I know why you've looked
into this.. was it that some data is lost ? If it is, then maybe data was lost
and you thought that it was overwritten by nicesrc but it actually never
arrived, don't forget that libnice uses UDP, so it's not reliable. If you want a
reliable socket, use nice_agent_new_reliable.
Let me know if you did your tests with reliable mode or not.

Thanks,
Youness.
