I don't know :) I knew nothing about GStreamer y'day so I basically
have no idea of what you mean. Do you have any of the Camerabin2 code
checked into the source control? If you don't, then I'd at least like
to see what's the pipeline looking now with Camerabin2 so I can try to
do something similar.

I also thought we'd only need to add a different sink at the end,
which would simplify pipe building, but it doesn't look like
shout2send admits anything else apart from OGG (which is weird because
I think libshout2 does many other formats) so yes, I think we should
be thinking on refactoring that piece of code if we wish to add
streaming support. Note also that this is only one case of streaming,
and there are other stuff like tcpsinks which could be used for other
streaming services, yet I'd suggest we try one simple case first.
