ahoka 5356b96545 Updating to the 20080706 version.
Fixing installation prefix and buildlink3 (now vlc's autoconf can find it).
Minor cleanup.

Upstream changelog:

2008.07.06:
- Corrected one of Erik Hovland's memory leak fixes made to the previous revision.

2008.07.05:
- Fixed some memory leaks - and several other mostly cosmetic fixes.
  (Thanks to Erik Hovland for noticing these.)

2008.06.26:
- Fixed a bug in "openRTSP" that was sometimes causing an incorrect "Range:" header
  to be sent in "PLAY" requests.

2008.06.25:
- Fixed a bug in the headers sent for the RTSP "GET_PARAMETER" and "SET_PARAMETER" commands.
  (Thanks to "beilyzhang (at) hotmail" for this report.)

2008.06.05:
- Renamed the "ourSourceAddressForMulticast()" function to the less confusing and more explanatory
  "ourIPAddress()".
- The "RTSPClient" change that was made in 2008.04.09 to accommodate multicast
  streams apparently broke (some?) unicast streams.  This has now been fixed.
- Updated "RTSPClient" to handle weird servers that include a "Content-Length:" header
  in the response to the RTSP "SETUP" command.  (If we see such a header, we skip over
  the data referred to in the header.)  (Thanks to Kristian Soerensen for this suggestion.)
- Changed the parsing of lines in "RTSPClient" so that it now accepts \r or \n alone
  at the end of each line.  (\r\n is preferred, but the standard also allows \r or \n)
  (Thanks to David Schueler for this suggestion.)

2008.05.12:
- Made a change to "RTCPInterface" to ensure that "turnOffBackgroundReadHandling()" is called on a socket
  as many times as "turnOnBackgroundReadHandling()".  Apparently some versions of Windows get upset if this
  doesn't happen.  (Thanks to Ken Seo for the suggested fix.)
- Fixed a bug in "H263plusVideoStreamParser".  (Thanks to Andrey Latin.)
- Added more sanity checking to "JPEGVideoRTPSink".

This package contains a set of C++ libraries for multimedia streaming,
using open standard protocols (RTP/RTCP, RTSP, SIP). These libraries can
be used to build streaming applications. The libraries are already being
used to implement applications such as "liveCaster" and "playRTPMPEG" (for
streaming MP3 audio using RTP/RTCP). The libraries can also be used to
stream, receive, and process MPEG or H.263+ video, and several audio
codecs. They can easily be extended to support additional (audio or video)
codecs, and can also be used to build basic RTSP or SIP clients and
servers, and have been used to add streaming support to existing media
player applications, such as "MPlayer". (For some specific examples of
how these libraries can be used, see the included test programs.)
