Feature Request: Use Software encoder when no HW encoder is available for H.264 #195

I'm attempting to use ustreamer for a different purpose, and am trying to run the h.264 implementation within a virtual machine.

When attempting to start the h.264 sink, I get an error stating it can't open the encoder. I can't seem to find a way to tell it to use a software encoder like libx264 which is available to my virtual machine.

Is it possible to add functionality so that ustreamer can use a software encoder?

Hello. It's possible, but I don't have time to do it right now, I'll leave it for the future.
