Improves the hotplug response times on Windows which may be noticeably prolonged due to thread scheduling in cases of Windows Multimedia reporting lack of a device driver.

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.

Commits work in progress on utilizing Android's native hardware (and software) decoding (and encoding) via MediaCodec.

Fixs a NullPointerException in the H.264 encoder which could prevent the building of a flow graph (e.g. Android). Does not attempt to enable RTCP feedback for H.264 video on Android because that does not have a way of working there.

Does not allow the FMJ encoder and decoder classes of Opus to register with FMJ/the application unless the jnopus JNI library is loaded and appears functional. Otherwise, the Opus codec will be considered supported and advertised as such while the JNI library may not be available at all (e.g. Android).

Uses device UID or name (instead of index) for PortAudio CaptureDeviceInfo locator. This fixes the problem of starting/stopping the wrong device after an update of the device list (i.e. a device has been dis/connected.).

Updates audio device selection: selected device is now put on top of the device list, instead of on top of the active device list.

Fixes a problem with the VP8 Packetizer sometimes not sending the last chunk of a packet correctly. Changes the VP8 encoder and decoder used to the ones based on libvpx. Updates libjitsi.jar

Adds a JNI interface to libvpx via the org.jitsi.impl.neomedia.codec.video.VPX class. Adds a VP8 encoder and decoder based on that interface.

Commits work on progress. Prepares to keep video frame memory entirely in the native, non-Java heap.

Re-enables Periodic Intra Refresh in the H.264 encoder which was (relatively) recently disabled during updates to the FFmpeg and x264 libraries. Contributed by Benoît Laniel.

Refactors AVFrame, ByteBuffer and ByteBufferPool. Prepare to invoke FFmpeg's avcodec_free_frame(AVFrame **) which is the new way to free AVFrames.

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.

Adds support to encode and decode VP8. Note that a vp8 encoder and decoder need to be build into the jnffmpeg library in order for this to work, and prebuild binaries aren't ready yet.

Creates a dedicated thread for changing on-going call volume. Uses the system volume to update the volume slider when the slider becomes visible.

Corrects the property name org.jitsi.impl.neomadia.device.disableUsbDeviceAutoSelection to org.jitsi.impl.neomedia.device.disableUsbDeviceAutoSelection.

Displays a pop-up notification about the removal of an audio device only if it used to be the active/selected one.

Creates a property named org.jitsi.impl.neomadia.device.disableUsbDeviceAutoSelection in order to disable the automatic selection of USB audio devices (if set to true).

Adds capability for Windows to retrieve the model identifier for audio devices. But there is still some issues with using it. Thus, disables temporaly the use of model identifier.
