asfmux is now at gstreamer-plugins-bad

I just pushed asfmux plugin into gstreamer-plugins-bad. So, forget the old repository, the recent code will now be at -bad.

And it now has mp3, wmv3 and wma3 support!

Live streaming of ASF content

Just pushed a couple of changes to ASF muxer plugin that enable streaming live content of ASF media. Basically it contains some fixes to timestamping and a new boolean property to asfmux called "is-live". When enabled, asfmux won't attempt to push indexes at the end of the file (as this has no sense in live streams) and also won't try to seek back to the headers to rewrite some values that it couldn't predict when started the file.

Here is the simplest example of its use in gst-launch commands:

The sender:

• gst-launch-0.10 -ve videotestsrc ! ffenc_wmv2 ! asfmux name=m is-live=true ! rtpasfpay ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=3333 audiotestsrc ! ffenc_wmav2 ! m.
• gst-launch-0.10 udpsrc port=3333 ! "put the caps here" ! rtpasfdepay ! decodebin2 name=d ! queue ! ffmpegcolorspace ! autovideosink d. ! queue ! audioconvert ! autoaudiosink

Remember to replace the caps after udpsrc with the caps of the srcpad of the rtpasfpay element in the first pipeline. If you have any problems using it, please report!

The asf plugin can be found here.
