text and audio notes

[Oleksij Rempel <linux rempel-privat de>]

Hello gnote devs and users,

My name is Oleksij Rempel and i'm linux kernel developer. I use gnote 
and really like it. So thank you for your work!

I was working on gnome-sound-recorder: updating to gstreamer-1.0, doing 
some more cleaning and refactoring work and integrating methadata. Now i 
come to the stage where i think it should be integrated with some 
management software...

After some discussion on #gnote with Luc Pionchon, we found that 
workflow will decide what to do. So here is my:
mostly i use gnote and recorder for lectures:
- start recorder and gnote
- do some notices/anotations, add a timestamp to the text with ctrl+d
- if lecture is finished stop recording.
- if needed, do some transcription. Annotations will usually help to 
find correct place.

Since my version of recorder will create file name based on timestamp 
and even add ogg tag with exact time. It is relatively easy to find 
correct place.
After discussion on irc we got idea to change time representation on 
recorder. So it should be not stream time: start 00:00:00 - end 
01:30:22; but exact time: start 10:20:30 - end 11:10:20. In this this 
case it will be easy to sync with gnotes annotations.

For now, we did some changes in ogg specification to represent exact 
DATETIME in ogg - which is needed for voice/note recordings. I also 
added it to gstreamer-1.0. Probably even more updates will be needed.

It will be good if recorder will be integrated to gnote. Your comments 
and ideas are welcome.
