Sorry, yes to confirm I mean getting the actual file via ARI.

It seems like a logical extension of the ARI, and it was often a common issue with FastAGI. Remote services need access to underlying storage, and being able to get a recording for example, if you're writing a voicemail app seems pretty vital. There should be no assumption you have access to the box via anything else other than ARI.

Just to give a real word example, sending a voicemail via email. If you only have ARI access, you can't get the recording to send in an email.

Great, sad to say this isn't my area of expertise, but I'd be very interested in seeing this pushed forwards.
