Hello SPICE devs, A user of aSPICE (and by extension Opaque) reported that with audio recording enabled, the client continually records and sends data to the server thereby wasting large amounts of bandwidth. This wouldn't really be an issue for desktops and to a lesser degree laptops, but for mobile devices it has battery drain and potentially data usage cost implications. So I'd like to add functionality to the client to send audio only when the user has indicated they want to. I haven't decided what I want the UI to look like, but I don't have the functionality in he back-end anyway, which is why I'm contacting you. What do you think would be the most appropriate modification to spice-gtk to achieve what users need? I am not convinced it's a good idea or useful to create and destroy a channel every time a button is tapped. I could be convinced otherwise, but rather I'm thinking of just stopping packets from being sent over when recording is disabled. To that end, I think adding a property to SpiceGstaudio which indicates whether to send packets and then disabling the call to spice_record_send_data() if the property is false would work, right? Is there any chance you guys would mainline such a change? If not, can you guys think of functionality that would serve aSPICE/Opaque purposes which you would consider mainlining?
