[AG-TECH] DVTS on Linux

I am working to find a cross-platform DV solution for the  
AccessGrid.  Until enhanced vic is improved on windows, we are using  
DVTS.  Currently, we use Sangwoo Han's ExtendedVideo services for AG  
(DVTS on the back-end).

I have been experimenting with DVTS on linux and its orphaned  
package: xdvshow.  After compiling and testing several versions of  
xdvshow and gldvshow, I finally found a version that works with our  
Linux 2.6.20 kernel on i686 (AMD Opterons).  The version was taken  
from an unadvertised telechacha (conferencing suite) repository  
(https://svn.sat.qc.ca/xdvshow/).

What would it take to create a ExtendedVideoConsumer package for  
linux using this working version of xdvshow?  The syntax of the  
command is simple: ./xdvshow -4 -j 233.2.171.59 -P 64225

Sending DVTS streams in linux seems equally simple (using dvsend,  
part of the maintained DVTS software).

Are there other cross-platform solutions I've overlooked (besides  
enhanced vic and DVTS)?  How difficult would it be to integrate  
xdvshow and the dvts utilities into a linux service compatible with  
Sangwoo's Windows-based ExtendedVideo services?

Thanks,
