[Ekiga-list] Feeding Ekiga input from other devices than webcams/microphones

[Marius Flage <marius bbft no>]

Hi there!

I have a project where I want to broadcast a video over H.323. I've been 
using Ekiga to connect to the end system and have been able to broadcast 
my webcam and audio just fine.

I have a http TS-stream that I now want to feed into Ekiga. I was 
thinking about doing this by using named pipes. I've set up VLC to 
output audio and video separately into /tmp/vlc_audio and 
/tmp/vlc_video. I've then tried setting the audio and video devices 
manually by using gconf-editor, like described in 
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Audio_setup#Configure_Ekiga_3.x_for_OSS_4.x

When I then try launching Ekiga I get errors with malformed input, so 
I'm guessing I'm shooting blanks or trying to do something that just 
isn't possible - even though I don't really see why it shouldn't be 
possible.

Can someone shed some light on this?
