Re: [sipcore] How to signal that a conversation is being recorded

Brian,

Are there legal constraints here?

I presume that the party doing the recording has a legal obligation to 
ensure an indication makes it to the other participants that are being 
recorded. OTOH there may be others in the call that might wish to 
suppress the indication, to one or more of the participants.

If the indication is in the signaling, then everybody in the signaling 
path has an opportunity to meddle with the indication.

That is potentially also true if the indication is in the media. But it 
may at least be a lot harder to do.

I have no recommendation yet, just exploring.

	Thanks,
	Paul

SIPREC provides the recording mechanism, and it’s possible for the SIPREC client to insert the indications.  This doesn’t work very well in applications like emergency services, where recording often happens in multiple places.  We don’t want multiple media insertions.  The usual SIP way to do things like this is to pass the indication as data in signaling, and render the audio/video/whatever locally.
