I'm excited to hear this news.  I'll be downloading that code this
week and testing it.  Is there a particular commit that I should pull
from your repository so may start familiarizing myself with the code
and the changes you have made?

In addition, I can help tune the encoding values to provide more
efficient recordings.  As far as streaming goes, fedora already has a
couple servers available for testing, but it would be really cool to
make an option that provides for recording to file and/or streaming.

Let me know if you need anything from me.

i'm way excited!

Cheers,

Clint
