It’s unlikely that this functionality will ever exist in rdcatch(1), mostly
because that module has a baked-in assumption that all audio operations are
‘one-to-one’ —e.g. a Download comes from exactly one source file and is
transferred to exactly one cart/cut destination.
However, this sort of thing could fit well as a dropbox capability, as
dropboxes *do* know how to deal with a ‘many-to-many’ world. In this case,
instead of a Path Spec, we could take a URL that references an RSS object.
Disposition of the referenced RSS enclosures could be handled just like any
other dropbox setup.
Anything else I’m missing?
Cheers!
