Question

Record multiple incoming audio streams

Hi

I'm new to AMS - please be gentle with me

I'm looking for a solution which will allow audio recording (and ultimately playback) of group discussions where the participants are located remotely.

Each user/participant can log into a browser, iOS or Android app.

The users will broadcast their mic input through the app to a AMS instance which I'm hoping has the ability to merge the audio input streams into a single audio file.

As there may be concurrent group discussions, the app will send a unique id (group discussion id).

Group Discussion Id's will be generated by another server - and I guess it will be necessary for id generating server to inform the AMS instance to create a new audio instance.

At the end of the discussion the id generating server will inform the AMS instance to stop "recording".

The AMS will then make the audio file available in mp3 format for playback.

My questions are therefore:

1: Is it possible for AMS to accept multiple incoming audio streams and merge these audio files into a single file?

2: How to generate a secure audio receiver - so only users participating in the discussion can connect and push a audio stream?

3: Is it possible to push audio stream from:

- iOS

- Android

- Safari

- Chrome

- Firefox

- IE

4: Is it possible for the file to be stored and streamed back in mp3 format?

5: With the stored mp3 file, is it possible to add bookmarks and chapters?

6: How to secure the mp3 file which is stored?

Apologies for all the questions - I'm hoping to gather expert opinion before commencing on this journey.

If there are samples/examples related to my questions, I would appreciate links to these.

Thanks in advance

Best

Parmy

    1. AMS cannot merge multiple incoming audio streams into a single file. In fact it wont even record in an MP3 format. You will have to use FLV/ F4V format for recording.

    2. You can use server side scripting for authentication. when ever a connection request is made, a callback onConnect() is called on server. You can enforce users to provide username/ password while connecting and verify in the server side script.

    3. Audio can be pushed from any browser that supports flash player. For mobile, applications build for on top of AIR runtime should be able to publish.

    4. AMS can playback MP3 file but cannot record one.

    My understanding is that AMS would not help in following

    • Merging audio files to one single file
    • Adding Bookmarks and chapters to an Audio file

    AMS can stream files recorded in mp3 format.
