        <p>If a connection manager needs to represent the addition of a stream

          change to the appropriate state.</p>

        <tp:rationale>
          <p>Historically, it was not clear from the StreamAdded signal what
            the state of the stream was. telepathy-spec 0.17.22

        </tp:rationale>

        <p>Similarly, clients SHOULD assume that the initial
          <tp:type>Media_Stream_Direction</tp:type> of a newly added stream
          is Receive, and that the initial
          <tp:type>Media_Stream_Pending_Send</tp:type> is
          Pending_Local_Send.</p>

        <p>If a connection manager needs to represent the addition of a stream

          it MUST do so by emitting StreamAdded, closely followed by

        <tp:rationale>
          <p>StreamAdded doesn't itself indicate the stream's direction; this
            is unfortunate, but is preserved for compatibility.</p>

          <p>This is the appropriate direction for streams added by a remote
            contact on existing connection managers, and does not violate
            user privacy by automatically sending audio or video (audio streams
            start off muted, video streams start off not sending). For
            streams added by the local user using the client receiving the
            signal, the true direction can also be determined from the return
            value of the <tp:member-ref>RequestStreams</tp:member-ref>
            method.</p>

          <p>Existing clients typically operate by maintaining a separate
            idea of the directions that they would like the streams to have,
            and enforcing these intended directions by calling

        <p>If set to true in a channel request that will create a new channel,
          the connection manager should immediately attempt to establish an
          audio stream to the remote contact, making it unnecessary for the

        <p>If this property, or InitialVideo, is passed to EnsureChannel
          (as opposed to CreateChannel), the connection manager SHOULD ignore
          these properties when checking whether it can return an existing
          channel as suitable; these properties only become significant when
          the connection manager has decided to create a new channel.</p>

        <p>If true on a requested channel, this indicates that the audio
          stream has already been requested and the client does not need to
          call RequestStreams, although it MAY still do so.</p>

        <p>If true on an unrequested (incoming) channel, this indicates that

        <p>If this property is missing, clients SHOULD assume that it is false,

      <p>A channel that can send and receive streamed media such as audio or video.
    Provides a number of methods for listing and requesting new streams, and
    signals to indicate when streams have been added, removed and changed

      <p>To make a media call to a contact, clients should call <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.Interface.Requests">CreateChannel</tp:dbus-ref>
        with <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel">ChannelType</tp:dbus-ref>
        = <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type">StreamedMedia</tp:dbus-ref>,
        <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel">TargetHandleType</tp:dbus-ref>
        = Contact, and one of <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel">TargetHandle</tp:dbus-ref>
        or <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel">TargetID</tp:dbus-ref>
        (which should yield a channel with the local user in <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface.Group">Members</tp:dbus-ref>,
        and the remote contact as <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel">TargetHandle</tp:dbus-ref>
        but not in any group members list), then call
        <tp:member-ref>RequestStreams</tp:member-ref> to initiate the call (at
        which point the contact should appear in the channel's <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface.Group">RemotePendingMembers</tp:dbus-ref>).</p>

      <p>In the past, several other patterns have been used to place outgoing
        calls; see
        <a href="http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Requesting%20StreamedMedia%20channels">'Requesting StreamedMedia Channels' on the Telepathy wiki</a>
        for the details.</p>

      <p>Incoming calls should be signalled as <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel">TargetHandleType</tp:dbus-ref>
        = Contact, <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel">TargetHandle</tp:dbus-ref>
        set to the remote contact, with the local user in <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface.Group">LocalPendingMembers</tp:dbus-ref>;
        to accept the call, <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface.Group">AddMembers</tp:dbus-ref>
        can be used to move the local user to the group's members.</p>

      <p>When the local user accepts an incoming call, the connection manager
        SHOULD change the direction of any streams with pending local send
        to be sending, without altering whether those streams are
        receiving.</p>

      <tp:rationale>
        <p>This matches existing practice, and means that a client
          can answer incoming calls and get an unmuted microphone/activated
          webcam without having to take additional action to accept the
          stream directions.</p>

        <p>It does, however, introduce a race condition: a client believing
          that it is accepting an audio-only call by calling AddMembers
          can inadvertantly accept an audio + video call (and hence activate
          sending from a webcam without the user's permission) if a video
          stream is added just before AddMembers is processed. This race
          should be removed when this specification is revised.</p>
      </tp:rationale>

    <p>In general this should be used in conjunction with the <tp:dbus-ref
      namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface">MediaSignalling</tp:dbus-ref>
    interface to exchange connection candidates and codec choices with
    whichever component is responsible for the streams. However, in certain
    applications where no candidate exchange is necessary (eg the streams are
    handled by specialised hardware which is controlled directly by the
    connection manager), the signalling interface can be omitted and this
    channel type used simply to control the streams.</p>

    <h4>Handler filters</h4>

    <p>For historical reasons, handlers must specify more than one filter if
      they want to correctly advertise support for audio and/or video calls. If
      they can handle channels using the <tp:dbus-ref
        namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface">MediaSignalling</tp:dbus-ref>
      interface, they should also advertise various
      <tp:type>Handler_Capability_Token</tp:type>s to indicate which codecs and
      transports they support. See <tp:member-ref>InitialAudio</tp:member-ref>
      and <tp:dbus-ref
        namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface">MediaSignalling/video/h264</tp:dbus-ref>
      for the gory details. In summary:</p>

    <dl>
      <dt>To advertise support for streamed media in general, include the
        following filter in <tp:dbus-ref
          namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Handler">HandlerChannelFilter</tp:dbus-ref>:</dt>
      <dd><pre>
{ '...Channel.Type': '...Channel.Type.StreamedMedia' ,
  '...Channel.TargetHandleType': Contact,
}</pre></dd>

      <dt>To advertise support for audio calls, also include the following
        filter:</dt>
      <dd><pre>
{ '...Channel.Type': '...Channel.Type.StreamedMedia' ,
  '...Channel.TargetHandleType': Contact,
  '...Channel.Type.StreamedMedia.InitialAudio': True,
}</pre></dd>

      <dt>To advertise support for video calls, also include the following
        filter:</dt>
      <dd><pre>
{ '...Channel.Type': '...Channel.Type.StreamedMedia' ,
  '...Channel.TargetHandleType': Contact,
  '...Channel.Type.StreamedMedia.InitialVideo': True,
}</pre></dd>

      <dt>If you use telepathy-farsight, and have H.264 support, you probably
        want these <tp:dbus-ref
