In multi-party bridges, Asterisk currently supports two video modes:
* Follow the talker, in which the speaker with the most energy is shown
to all participants but the speaker, and the speaker sees the
previous video source
* Explicitly set video sources, in which all participants see a locked
video source
Prior to this patch, ARI had no ability to manipulate the video source.
This isn't important for two-party bridges, in which Asterisk merely
relays the video between the participants. However, in a multi-party
bridge, it can be advantageous to allow an external application to
manipulate the video source.
This patch provides two new routes to accomplish this:
(1) setVideoSource: POST /bridges/{bridgeId}/videoSource/{channelId}
Sets a video source to an explicit channel
(2) clearVideoSource: DELETE /bridges/{bridgeId}/videoSource
Removes any explicit video source, and sets the video mode to talk
detection
