Comment 3 for bug 1182580

Hello and very good you set focus on the free VOIP-clients.

I believe that Ubuntu's sound menu also monitors the DBus and reads the
MPRIS2-messages. I am not sure if VOIP-cleints should display their name
in the sound-menu.

Maybe VOIP-clients should have a slightly different protocol (similar to
MRPIS2) that is tailored for all communication software. For example
VOIP-clients do not generate "track changed" or "pause" events.
VOIP-clients generate start/stop and call-title messages.

Some people have also asked that audio-recorder should display itself in
the sound menu. But audio-recorders do not have a proper protocol for this.
If we had, users could start/stop/pause recording directly from the sound
menu.
---
Currently they have MPRIS2 (DBus) protocol for media players (MPRIS = Media
Player Remote Interface Specification)
Ref: http://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/
These are exposed on the DBus "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.xxxx"

Should we also have remote interchange protocol for VOIPs.
VRIS (=VOIP Remote Interface Specification).
These should expose themselves on te DBus as "org.vris.xxxx" (or similar)

Should we also have remote interchange protocol for recorders.
AVRIS (=Audio/Video Recorder Remote Interface Specification)
These should expose themselves on te DBus as "org.avris.xxxx" (or similar)

Sorry for all typos in my previous message. Good you made sense of it.
