+* What is UDP src/sink?
+
+This plugin is *not* meant to be a professional stream broadcast
+solution, like icecast or realaudio or whatever.
+
+This plugin is basically for testing and simple hacks: raw audio
+or packetized gsm should be fine.
+
+
+* Shortcomings
+
+Even given our modest ambitions, the current code is doesn't handle
+caps negotiation robustly.
+
+
+* Todo
+
+This plugin should offer different modes for caps negotiation: none,
+udp, or tcp. The udp mode should include the caps every five packets
+(approx). The tcp mode can do bi-directional negotiation.
+
+Perhaps this plugin can be the example of how to do caps negotiation
+via a point-to-point protocol.
