[AG-USERS] What do you want the AG to be?

[Jimmy Miklavcic]

I'll approach this from both a meeting and a creative/performance 
perspective. There will most likely be more but this is what I came up 
with off  the top of my balding head.

For Both:
    * Recording and playing sessions is a critical service for me.
    * Access from non-AG interfaces.
    * How about MPEG-4 codecs.

Meetings:
    * I've been thinking about using our gentner for phone bridging but 
haven't made the attempt yet.
    * I love the op-less AG node, particularly voice activated.
    *Speaker recognition. Indicators on the vic windows that show who 
has spoken (in the last 60 secs), who is speaking and who is going to 
speak. This would be a great way to track a conversation.
   
Performance:
    * Multiple codecs. Say for instance, I want the performance video 
streams to be high quality and I can leave the communications video 
amongst the operators at something lower.
    * Some way to take a selected video stream and process that (mix, 
composite, etc) with other streams and send it back out as my stream.
    * 5.1 surround sound.
    * Room configurations to support live performances.
