[Ekiga-devel-list] FREE SOFTWARE PODCASTING IDEA: ALLOWING AUDACITY TO DIRECTLY RECORD EKIGA CALLS USING A PLUGIN

[Rex Djere <rdjere gmail com>]

Hello everyone! 
My name is Rex Djere and I host a GNU/Linux oggcast. I have an idea that I wanted to present to all of you for consideration, creating an Audacity plugin that allows it to directly accept Ekiga telephony calls and record them. This is how I propose that this feature could be used:

• Imagine that Mr. Richard Stallman is a guest on my podcast.
• I, the host, record my microphone directly in Audacity.
• Mr. Stallman calls my pc from his pc using Ekiga.
• Audacity answers the call, and I use a button in Audacity's menu to start recording the call.
• An optional "record all streams" button could be added to Audacity to record everything (my mic, phone call etc.)

Now imagine this, Audacity being able to accept and record an unlimited number of Ekiga streams using the plugin. This would be wonderful for a podcast with multiple hosts and or guest. For the podcasting community, I believe that this would be a godsend. Please feel free to send me any comments or replies. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rex Djere
