[Mpls] Audio webcasting candidate forums?

[Steven Clift]

If a candidate is being held where wi-fi or a wired Internet 
connection can be found, it can be webcast live and recorded in MP3 
for on-demand streaming and podcasting.

One the "work" side of my life I've led the development of a 
prototype "Democaster" system using mostly open source tools.  We 
used it with the e-democracy symposium and it worked:

The tool could use some more field testing ... so if anyone what to 
make some of these candidates more accessible "on-demand", drop me a 
note:  clift at publicus.net

P.S. It can also be used to capture webcam images during an event.  
Viewing/listening is easy.  Along with a net connection, producing an 
event takes a laptop and Winamp with the Oddcast plug-in and off 
course access to the sound system or good placement of a "border" 
microphone.
