[Freeswitch-users] link video from one call to the audio of another in a conference

[Hristo Trendev]

video-floor-only is set to true.

A workaround will be to have an external process, which listens for the
"floor-change" events per ESL and forces the vid-floor per API according to
any audio <-> video stream relations. So it will force the vid-floor to the
webcam as soon as it sees a floor-change event for the Soundstation. I
didn't realize that the vid-floor can be set independently of the floor per
API.

I was kind of hoping that there is an easy way to accomplish this by
setting some magical variable :), which simply defines the relation between
the audio from one call and the video from another, but I guess the ESL
trick will do for now.

Thanks!
