[Spice-devel] [PATCH] Add the ability to specify Spice video codecs.

[Victor Toso]

From: Jeremy White <jwhite at codeweavers.com>

This patch requires the patch series provided by Francois Gouget
which add gstreamer support to Spice.

It also should finally include the fix that Fabio keeps pointing out.

+An encoder tyep of 'spice' selects built in codecs.  An encoder
