[Asterisk-video] theora

[Maris]

around 2007, an item in the tracker system (11087) presented an incomplete  
patch for inplementing theora passthrough.
The item has never been continued.

Meanwhile, things have changed, especially theora has been improved  
largely over the past two years.

Well, readers of this list should be known with pros and cons,  
nevertheless I summarize:
Why theora? Clearly better than h.263(p) (and open source..., no licensing  
issues)
Why not h.264? Not typically supported with sip clients, moreover a cpu  
resource hog.
And mp4v (new as per asterisk 1.8?) isn't typically with sip clients, too.

Theora/h264 objective comparison with tables:

Any opinions?
