[Telepathy] Roadmap H264 SVC support ?

[Toby Mangold]

Hi,

while struggling with strange Codec issues in Video Chats with Gtalk (windows clients on the opposite end;
I'm running Empathy 2.29.5 on Debian unstable), I've googled and read a lot of stuff and I'm starting to catch up 
with all the history of Gtalk Video support and the H264 SVC codec issue.

(By the way, my present issue: Audio is fine, Video preview is fine, I'm getting remote video, but remote is not 
getting my video. Gstreamer is equipped with H264 encoder and decoder and logs are not complaining about missing
codecs or a webcam issue. There' just a warning about renaming something JPEG2000 to H264 ??? I've to keep on tracing ....)

Now, video for Gtalk was enabled by Goggle adding H264 AVC support, which is given on Linux by x264 (encode) and ffmpeg (decode), right ?

Are there any plans or kind of a roadmaps to add H264 SVC support to Empathy/Telepathy/Farsight ?
Of course, it's mainly an issue of getting such a codec into gstreamer and not the task of Empathy/Telepathy developers,
but maybe someone on this list knows the latest status.

I'm asking, because I've justed stumbled across the Open SVC implementation, http://opensvcdecoder.sourceforge.net/, 
which has been demonstrated to work in mplayer. (But unfortunately they didn't add this codec to ffmpeg - they replaced 
ffmpeg completely - bad luck).  Does anybody know of similar approaches getting H264 SVC into ffmpeg, or something equivalent 
regarding gstreamer codec support ?

Thanks,
Toby
