[mythtv] Myth Video Conference Plugin

SIP has standards based mechanisms to fix NAT.  Technically, when you
receive an incoming call your response has to include the IP address that
you received the packet from.  If the sender gets an address back that was
not his own, he knows he has hit a NAT and he makes the necessary
adjustments.

Having said that, the Asterisk stuff looks very interesting. Thanks for the
pointer I will take a look.

About the protocol used, a lots of users haven't a direct public ip address,
so SIP calls are unusable for them. It would be great if you can use also
some NAT-friendly protocol like AIX2 from Asterisk (www.asterisk.org) .
