Re: Video Conference

[Yasuaki Kudo]

Well I thought it would be easier to build it natively on Guix from "scratch".

For example, the BBB programs looked almost impossible to disassemble to 
components - at least it looked like it would be even harder than doing it all 
over again.

But the question of what the "scratch" means...  it seems there are a few 
components - WebRTC, audio codec, video codec, etc.

And there are questions over whether to really mix the signals on server (for 
audio) or just bundling all separate lines of communications (for video), etc

I would like to taken advantage of Guix to try different mixes and experiment 😄
