Users usually receive a sound notification when another user starts a recording. However, one does not receive the notification when we connect to the server after the recording has started.

Right now, it seems like it is explicitly disabled during initial sync.

Probably because we have no pSelf at that point?

I suppose if you connect to a server and auto-join a channel in which someone is recording, you should get a new mesage: "XXX is recording"?

However, that begs the question: since, at present, you'll only get the notification if you're in the same channel as the person recording -- does this request mean that the recording notification also should be shown if you join a channel that contains a user who is currently recording?

I think so too.

Yes. We could also think of a sign (like a red recording sign) next to the channel name.
