Hi Zsolt,

Yea, that's one thing noted in the 'known issues', the problem with recording
from unicast. I'm glad to hear AGConnector helped, I like that program. There's
some old code in there that I wrote for trying to send data to QuickBridge
(since it seems to need to receive something in order to send data back to you)
but I never did get it working to any satisfaction.

Since I'm replying to all I was aware (as is typical after announcing something
works) that under Windows now it appears to have problems with reading or
displaying the file length, something for me to look at tomorrow.

Growing pains I think, I've been rewriting a lot of it (under Linux for the most
part) in the last few weeks as I've considered more things that I wanted to add,
and lo today I 'got the nod' to release it. So I thought I'd let everyone take a
look instead of me sitting on it a moment longer. This may be good and bad, but
as long as everyone treats it as 'alpha' for now until more testing is done then
I think we'll all be good. I do not think the file format will need to change,
given all that I have in my 'future plans', so any recordings made now will work
in later versions. If for some reason it does, I will make available the
converter program I have used to convert previous recordings to the new format.

Thanks for trying it out, incidentally, what version did you use, Windows or Linux?

Derek
