[Red5] Red-5 for P2P

[Roberto Saccon]

I have been playing with the idea of porting parts of red5 to C++.  Skype
dosen't allow you to access theh audio/video stream, except your users
install virtual drivers. Maybe you should also consider http://wigiwigi,com,
which is a P2P/audio/video framework  in development (the current  alpha
releases provides videophone functionality in a binary of just 400 KB) .
