## Description

This object is the base implementation of a Farsight Stream Transmitter. It needs to be derived and implement by a Farsight transmitter. A Farsight Stream transmitter is used to convery per-stream information to a transmitter, this is mostly local and remote candidates

## Details

### FsStreamTransmitter

    typedef struct _FsStreamTransmitter FsStreamTransmitter;

All members are private, access them using methods and properties

### struct FsStreamTransmitterClass

    struct FsStreamTransmitterClass {
      GObjectClass parent_class;

      /*virtual functions */
      gboolean (*set_remote_candidates) (FsStreamTransmitter *streamtransmitter,
                                         GList *candidates, GError **error);

      gboolean (*force_remote_candidates) (FsStreamTransmitter *streamtransmitter,
          GList *remote_candidates,
          GError **error);
      gboolean (*gather_local_candidates) (FsStreamTransmitter *streamtransmitter,
                                           GError **error);
      void (*stop) (FsStreamTransmitter *streamtransmitter);
    };

You must override the add_remote_candidate in a subclass

GObjectClass `parent_class`; | Our parent
`set_remote_candidates` () | Sets the remote candidates
`force_remote_candidates` () | Forces certain remote candidates
`gather_local_candidates` () | Starts the gathering of local candidates
`stop` () | Stop the stream transmitter synchronously (does any Gst stopping that needs to be done)

### fs_stream_transmitter_set_remote_candidates ()

    gboolean            fs_stream_transmitter_set_remote_candidates
                                                            (FsStreamTransmitter *streamtransmitter,
                                                             GList *candidates,
                                                             GError **error);

This function is used to set the remote candidates to the transmitter

`streamtransmitter` : | a FsStreamTranmitter
`candidates` : | a GList of the remote candidates
`error` : | location of a GError, or NULL if no error occured
Returns : | TRUE of the candidate could be added, FALSE if it couldnt (and the GError will be set)

### fs_stream_transmitter_gather_local_candidates ()

    gboolean            fs_stream_transmitter_gather_local_candidates
                                                            (FsStreamTransmitter *streamtransmitter,
                                                             GError **error);

This function tells the transmitter to start gathering local candidates, signals for new candidates and newly active candidates can be emitted during the call to this function.

`streamtransmitter` : | a FsStreamTransmitter
`error` : | location of a GErrorh, or NULL if no error occured
Returns : | `TRUE` if it succeeds (or is not implemented), `FALSE` otherwise

### fs_stream_transmitter_force_remote_candidates ()

    gboolean            fs_stream_transmitter_force_remote_candidates
                                                            (FsStreamTransmitter *streamtransmitter,

This function forces data to be sent immediately to the selected remote candidate, by-passing any connectivity checks. There should be at most one candidate per component.

`streamtransmitter` : | a FsStreamTransmitter
`remote_candidates` : | a GList of FsCandidate to force
`error` : | location of a GError, or NULL if no error occured
Returns : | `TRUE` if the candidates could be forced, `FALSE` otherwise

### fs_stream_transmitter_stop ()

    void                fs_stream_transmitter_stop          (FsStreamTransmitter *streamtransmitter);

This functions stops the FsStreamTransmitter, it must be called before the last reference is dropped.

`streamtransmitter` : | a FsStreamTransmitter

### fs_stream_transmitter_emit_error ()

    void                fs_stream_transmitter_emit_error    (FsStreamTransmitter *streamtransmitter,
                                                             gint error_no,

This function emit the "error" signal on a FsStreamTransmitter, it should only be called by subclasses.

`streamtransmitter` : | FsStreamTransmitter on which to emit the error signal
`error_no` : | The number of the error
`error_msg` : | Error message to be displayed to user
`debug_msg` : | Debugging error message
