Hello,

I am looking for a recorder which is able to start recording and stop 
recording when the button at the headset is pressed. Usecase: phone is 
somewhare in the pocket and I want to do recording.

I did not see an app able to do this. Now I am wondering how much effort it 
would be to create a simple app like this myself (I am a programer, have 
scratchbox setup, but no hildon and codec experience).

Spec of the up:

- Three buttons: New, Save, Start/Stop recording
- Start/Stop recording should also work from headset button when recording up 
is up and screen blancked.

What I would appreciate are answers to
- Is there an app which I could take as starting point?

Depending on what is missing of the app if there is any
- Pointer to a hello world app with buttons
- Would you rather recommend C or python (I am more fluent in C/C++, but I see 
a lot of python apps and applets)?
- Pointer to codec to use for audio encoding
- Pointer how to use headset button.

I certainly tried recorder and filed a bug report 
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9903 some time ago. Since the author 
has a Nokia address Marko Nykanen <marko.ja.nyka...@nokia.com> I suspect 
recorder has a closed source license Nokia app. Since there is no action on 
the bug report I assume Nokia has no interest in supplying that features and 
since source code is not available it is also impossible to enhance the 
existing app.

Thanks,
Rainer
