Suggest using promises instead of callbacks

I find callbacks become unwieldy when more than a couple are nested, so I'd be tempted to wrap methods in promises. e.g.

     function whoAmIWithPromises() {
        var d = $.Deferred();

        Ipseorama.whoAmI(function(myfingerprint) {
            d.resolve(myfingerprint);
        }, function(err) {
            d.reject(err);
        });

        return d.promise();
    }

With the equivalent calling code reading:

whoAmIWithPromises().done(function(myfingerprint) {
   gotFinger(myfingerprint);
}).fail(function(errorCase) {
   console.log("could not create identity " + errorCase);
});

Hey

If you understand how to take the stdout from raspivid and assemble it correctly to have it work as video using webRTC and RTCDataChannel, why do you want to use RTP?

I have the data streaming through a simple TCP socket (which is easy to make a websocket of, I've written the websocket protocol in C!) to the browser.

Why don't we try to make this more simple, and just have a C (or nodejs) program that accepts the piped data from raspivid and streams it to the browser?
