Internet wide chat

Hi,

We need two things:  a codec that we can encode and decode in real-time
(the demo from 2006 used h.263) and a transport layer -- I think we have
a UDP transport for Salut, but not for Gabble, so video chat would be on
the local mesh only.

It would be worth someone checking out the Theora team's latest
optimizations, which might make Theora solve the codec problem.
