Yep, SIP is more important. Many new mobilephones have PoC client, which
basically is just SIP client. Would be nice to talk and call to/from
gnomemeeting and Nokia GSM phones.

I think Gstreamer is a good place to start:

Gstreamer tools (gst-recorder) and players are not much to talk about yet, 
at least compared to great MPlayer, but the idea there is the right one, to
encapsulate all video+audio processing under one frame work and
libraries and one can then add and chain different kind of stream sources, 
codecs, filters, doublers and such to the stream. Some day MPlayer 
should be ported to Gstremer or somehow rerationalize the systems.
