Leon,
Thanks for your message:
> I found your draft page...
Current is ftp://ftp.bovik.org/draft-salsman-www-device-upload-02.txt
but the differences are very slight and do not impact any implementation
issues or described behaviors.

Please use
http://www.bovik.org/testform.html
which calls a debugging cgi script to test implementation.
If my ISP was somewhat less expensive, I would put up a simple front
end to "sox" (the C program converting to and from WAV, AU, AIFF,
etc.) to do type conversions for immediate play-back. If you would
like the source for that, let me know, but you could build one with
Lincoln Stein's CGI.pm and the sox(1) program and manpage probably
in less time than it would take for me to put the code in to the
commented quality I would prefer to publish.
Please keep me informed of progress on implementation. If you are
working on the Mozilla code, please see my posts to the public
Mozilla newsgroups, most recently news:netscape.public.mozilla.general
which describe the only known working version, and the points
patched to achieve it. (N.B: in the base implementation "DEVICE=MIC"
is implied when the filename is "/dev/L16-audio" but that is NOT
part of the draft and I'm not going to release it because of that
and the fact that recording is started and stopped in a most
unlikely manner, using spare keys on the -- ugh! -- keyboard :-)
Cheers,
James Salsman
