[asterisk-users] Using asterisk as the recording server

[Erik de Wild]

using mixmonitor might not be such a good idea. afaik the mixing of  
the recordings of the two channels starts after ending the call  
causing a high cpu load. if you have recordings going on all the time  
moving the 2 files that has to be mixed to a dedicated mixing server  
might be a good idea. after mixing it should be stored in a  
retrievable way.
