I run a teamspeak server for a Shadowbane guild, and it is becoming more and more important that all our members can at least hear the chat for orders during battle.
One thing stands in our way. Shadowbane is a cross platform game, and thus we have both Mac and Windows gamers. And, well, with no TS client for the Mac still, our Mac gamers are left to try and fend for themselves in large battles.
So, I wanted to create an MP3 stream of the chat going on for our Mac users to tune to. I run the server on a Linux box, and figured there might be an easy way to accomplish this. I quickly found out there isn't. (At least not on a server without X Windows)
So, I am asking that server side recording be added. And for the Linux server, it would be great to have an option to output the recording to stdout, so I can then have my MP3 encoder fed by this data, and not have to deal with writing a large WAV to disk and encoding it at the same time.
Or, get to work on the Mac client already, that too would solve my problems :)
