It's much better that way than through some broken SMTP server that would 
mangle the patch anyway.

* At the very least you must release the incoming blocks. I understand the 
patch is purposedly incomplete, but that's not an excuse to leak.

* Please remove the excessive debug. Especially the static variable is not 
even thread-safe.

* You should probably not to bother with a new configure option nor a new 
source directory. This is small and self-contained so it can be always on.

* I don't understand why you create a new capability and bypass packetization. 
Won't that prevent re-streaming the private ES?

* Why do you add bindings to FFMPEG? Is that supposed to work?

Best regards,
