Mel,

Did you know that we did this last FUDCon in NA?  I recorded and
streamed a few rooms actually.  Chris Tyler, Colby Hoke and others (I
forget everyone's names, please forgive me) have also done video
recording, though I don't know if their entire process was FOSS.

For my part, I used darkice with icecast to stream ogg/vorbis and
recorded in the same.

Cheers,

Clint
