[Red5] Info about Red5 capabilities and mp3 recording

[Dominick Accattato]

Opening up to open source codecs is definitely the way to go.  This wouldn't
be implemented for quite some time as the latest player was just released,
but maybe we could start some type support towards this goal.

So we have two goals (immediate and long term)

*Goal One:*

   - transcode from NellyMoser to MP3
   - transcode from On2 to MP3

*Goal Two:*

   - support open source codecs in future players


what do you all think?  How can we best attack these goals?  And, yes this
isn't even a Red5 thing.  This is for anyone who works with Flash Video.
That should be clear by now.
