Filing this as a rough summary of a discussion leio and I had.

Per upstream, all the webrtcdsp stuff should really be one package, as it isn't just for webrtc, but also echo cancellation and other DSP.

Question is how to best handle this given the helper libraries needed (see bugs in See Also) and also how much of a price we want to pay for unnecessary deps where reverse dependencies don't truly need the webrtc parts (like pulseeffects).
Comment 1 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2025-01-06 23:40:31 UTC
I think you misunderstood part of it:

* webrtc, dtls, sctp and srtp should be shipped by gst-plugins-webrtc
* webrtcdsp should be shipped by a new gst-plugins-webrtcdsp and pulseeffects depend on that instead

I'm not sure if we should have -webrtc PDEPEND on -webrtcdsp for a bit for migration purposes
