Summary:                    [branch] RTMP support in Asterisk
Description: 
I created a new branch that implements Adobe's RTMP (Real Time Media
Protocol).

It allows Asterisk to connect as a client to an RTMP media server like
Red5 or FMS (Flash Media Server), and then publish or receive media streams
from such server. I only tested the connection with Red5.

To install the branch, you'll need several libavcodec, included in FFMPEG
version 0.6. Be careful to configure FFMPEG's sources with the
--enable-shared option activated in the configure script.

Prior to install Asterisk, you need to have librtmp on your system.
librtmp is part of the rtmpdump program : http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/

To install it :
# wget http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/download/rtmpdump-2.2e.tar.gz [^]
# tar zxvf rtmpdump-2.2e.tar.gz
# cd rtmpdump-2.2e/
# make
# make install

To install Asterisk :
# svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/phsultan/rtmp-support
asterisk-rtmp
# cd asterisk-rtmp
# ./configure
# make menuselect
[check here that chan_rtmp is eligible for installation]
# make
# make install

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Just to note again: on the two streaming methods, I'm getting no audio OR
video, while for the file-based method I get audio but a core dump when I
try to re-invite video.

Here is what happens from a network perspective when I dial the "1237"
extension in the example I provided:

root at ubuntu:/home/jtodd/asterisk/asterisk-rtmp# tshark -n host
192.168.1.111 and not port 22 and not host 192.168.1.102 and not arp
Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous.
Capturing on eth1


  0.000000 192.168.1.111 -> 68.87.64.150 DNS Standard query A
video.ted.com\020
  0.019101 68.87.64.150 -> 192.168.1.111 DNS Standard query response A
208.68.139.38
 
What's up with the escaped characters in there?  It looks like it's
getting a valid reply on the first query but not recognizing it.  Similar
weird characters show up in the query for 1236 but even MORE mangled
(dropping the ".com"):

 10.727124 192.168.1.111 -> 68.87.64.150 DNS Standard query A
streaming.ted\020
 10.748420 68.87.64.150 -> 192.168.1.111 DNS Standard query response, No
such name
 10.748568 192.168.1.111 -> 68.87.64.150 DNS Standard query A
streaming.ted\020.loligo.com
 10.770444 68.87.64.150 -> 192.168.1.111 DNS Standard query response, No
such name

 This is with SVN version 278621 of the RTMP branch.  These DNS problems
may be unrelated to RTMP, but are preventing functionality.
