What do you mean with "build it from scratch"? Since the A/V Streams
specification is pure CORBA IDL I thought it would compile without
problems with any ORB's IDL compiler, thus making available the A/V
extensions within the framework of that particular ORB. Is there anything
else one has to do in order to deploy A/V Streams with an ORB? What else
does TAO ORB do besides compiling the A/V Streams IDL?

I am still confused: How do you implement the A/V Streaming spec.? Isn't
it implemented already (like a "library" written in pure OMG IDL)?

Thanks,
Catalin
