ola,
For example, should we use GISS? Ekiga? Skype?
the main difference between a video streaming solution and a video conference solution ( ekiga, skype ) is that anybody is able to see what's happening, e.g. that's it's public ( no need to authentify and join a conference room ).. so it depends on what you want..
I think the other key difference is that ekiga/skype are tuned for low latency while streaming is usually tuned to have a big buffer so that the stream doesn't get interrupted.
the tipical question where there is no answer.. is there an answer to 'how much latency you get with pd compared to using analog sound effects ?' all depends on many parameters and all is setable also, even in the client that receives..
Any idea on the latency of GISS? When I was using Darwin Streaming Server, it usually had a buffer of 10 seconds,
nahh, surely less ( except maybe with dv )
