I'm mostly with Dave here. As a chair I(and AD) I've sometimes found it
necessary to listen to an audio recording, and I'm really incredibly
glad they're there.
However, I don't want that to be the norm.
I found audio recordings really helpful for example in dealing with
appeals or threatened appeals.
