[Nfb-web] recording audio

[J.J. Meddaugh]

Actually, as far as recording, you can pretty easily record a live feed from 
the audio source on your broadcast computer without the occasional stream 
drop-outs. The problem, as Gary points out, is in case the computer crashes. 
You could use a second computer to do the archiving, if one was available.
