====== InOut ======
..work in progress..

===== Interaction Concept =====

Flow for //[[http://citu.info/#projet_123_1|InOut]] Collab.//

  - Create Account (once)
    * agree to CC-SA 
    * choose username & pass; request a //secutity token//
  - Choose Interaction Mode (for each session)
    * //simple// - webcam, browser, file-upload
    * //normal//:
      * //relay// - DSL, low bandwidth, firewalled users
      * //p2p// - requires IP, direct access to icecast & OSC ports 
  - Connect A/V streams
      * create //OUT//-port (provide hashed //security-token// and/or register on server)
      * announce public OSC commands/modifiers for this //OUT// port (via XMPP)
      * retrieve a list of available //OUT//-ports (from others), that can be used as //IN//

===== Brainstorm =====

  * Use XMPP for join/leave the network (alike jabber chat) and feedback (xmpp group chat)
  * unique ID for all ports. 
  * use OSC for real-time control messages (client specific)
  * provide a minimal set of OSC for //simple mode// eg. zoom, seek, effect settings
  * provide a XHTML <video/> interface to monitor/select active streams 
  * media-browser for available files in the pool
  * simple-mode: 
    * server-side A/V creation tools (OSC-in; A/V out) 
    * server-side filters (OSC controlled) 
  * normal-mode
    * provide a icecast server (true p2p, or relay via server) 
    * use custom pure-data, processing, MAX/MSP
