[Live-devel] Groupsock and non-socket communication?

[Andreas Färber]

Hello,

Has anyone looked into extending or replacing the Groupsock  
implementation? I would need to support writing to and reading from a  
custom multicast library, with the underlying sockets being  
inaccessible (i.e. there are custom classes+methods for sending/ 
receiving data and virtually no options to set).

Would it work to compile libliveMedia as-is and, only when using/ 
linking it, replace the libGroupsock.a with a fully custom  
implementation? Unfortunately Groupsock does not seem truly  
inheritable, and I would need to overwrite all GroupsockHelper  
functionality. Any other suggestions?

Regards,

Andreas
