Would it be possible to factor out the video codecs as plugins, so
someone else could implement plugins for H.263 (and H.264) and host them
separately. This model has worked well for gstreamer. In fact, is there
a reason why we don't just use gstreamer as the video plugin framework?
We could then leverage all sorts of video codecs, even ones not normally
used for video conferencing, like ogg/theora.
