Currently, bridges and channels can both be recorded.

When a channel is recorded, all media from the channel is directed into the recording, i.e., they are essentially in "app_record". In general, you can't do much else with the channel while it is performing the recording. The use case for this kind of recording is really for applications like VoiceMail.

When a bridge is recorded, all participants are recorded. This is really more of a monitoring of the bridge - participants can leave/join and the bridge will still happily record them all. This is useful when want you want to record is the action that occurs between multiple participants - such as in a Queue or a Conference - and the only thing you want recorded is when they are all talking to each other.

What is missing is monitoring of a channel. For example, you may want to record all the audio of a caller to a Queue, regardless of how they are moved between various bridges. In that case, the recording needs to be tied to the channel - that is, Monitor or MixMonitor.

(We don't need to differentiate here however; MixMonitor should be the general approach taken as opposed to Monitor)
