This is primarily used by Jitsi on Windows to store logs and cached data
on the local computers instead of on the network when roaming profiles
with folder redirection is used.

Does not attempt to register libjitsi's Renderer implementations when audio and/or video support is disabled in order to prevent exceptions and their respective logs when they do not pose problems anyway.

Attempts to fix failures of the Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI) integration which reportedly break the very capture and playback functionality.

Fixes a problem with quickly displaying video preview can leave the camera open, adds listeners earlier to be sure we will get ui events to stop player.

Fixes inconsistent synchronization in RTPSourceStream which could lead to unexpected behavior. Enables debug output in the PortAudio binaries on Windows. Makes sure that failures to load the JNI counterparts of CoreAudioDevice will not break PortAudio and the software volume control. Fixes warnings.

Fixes an issue of overlapping videos which could cause the local video in a call to be displayed bellow the remote video. Works on remedying issues with telephony conferences utilizing the Jitsi VideoBridge server-side technology.

Updates FMJ to r11. This revision uses an adaptive jitter buffer (for audio streams), which changes size according to the number of packets arriving too late. Passes the net.java.sip.communicator.impl.neomedia.adaptive_jitter_buffer.* properties to the FMJ Registry. Changes the mechanism through which the number of discarded packets is obtained in MediaStreamStatsImpl, now using a FMJ controls. Shows more information about discarded packets and the adaptive jitter buffer in the "call info" window.

Corrects UnsatisfiedLinkError when trying to load nonexistent Windows or MacOSX CoreAudio library. Initializes microphone volume based on system value for MacOSX and Windows Vista/7/8.

Activates microphone sensibility modification via Windows CoreAudio (64bits version only for Vista/7/8).

Work in progress using Windows CoreAudio API to set the input device volume (hardware microphone sensibility).

- Removes the DirectSound support from PortAudio in order to prevent issues with bad audio quality.
- Attempts to recognize USB PortAudio devices on Windows as such, ignores the virtual Microsoft Sound Mapper devices to avoid user confusion. Contributed by Vincent Lucas.

Updates FMJ to r5 from the sourceforge SVN repository. This version uses a java.util.logging.Logger to log, and logs detailed statistics from the RTPSourceStream class. Changes MediaServiceImpl to always enable FMJ logging.

Improves device selection via portaudio for MacOSX (hostapi coreaudio): adds the possibility to get the device transport type (USB, bluetooth, etc.) and an unique identifier. Corrects problems when: loading the same device twice (for the moment only for the same hostapi), a new plugged device is selected during a call or if the selected device is unchanged.

Commits work in progress on refactorying the call-related user interface for the purposes of audio and video telephony conferencing over single or multiple protocols and Jitsi VideoBridge.

Initialize EncodingConfiguration before postInitializeOnce, fixes exception MalformedURLException: Unknown protocol: portaudio when creating ZrtpFortunaEntropyGatherer.

Makes MediaServiceImpl#getDefaultDevice return non-null even if no formats are enabled for the device. Updates some of it's usages accordingly. This fixes a problem with SIP audio calls failing when all video formats are disabled.

Changes the EncodingConfiguration instance stored in MediaServiceImpl to one which contains global settings. Changes the names of some methods in EncodingConfiguration and MediaService to make their meaning more clear. Adds storeProperties() methods to EncodingConfiguration, makes EncodingsPanel use them.

Adds support for the IETF Opus codec (patch by Boris Grozev). Fixes a problem that prevented Jitsi from using formats that are disabled by default (pach by Boris Grozev)
