Why is audio recording hidden?

[BlackBulletIV]

While I was browsing the source, I found some audio recording functions in audio module. I then decided to test them, but found that they were no where to be seen. Then I saw the commit saying "hidden audio recording." Why does it need to be hidden?

My guess is that it doesn't work yet.

Yeah. Audio recording is on the list of features to be implemented, but as it stands it only works on Macs (and, perhaps, only on my computer...). For now, pretend it doesn't exist.

Hmmmm, that's a shame. Recording input would be nice. Anyway, I hope it's in 0.8.

What exactly would this do? And how could it be used in a game?

See the bug report:

Awesome if you want to record sonebody's name for audio scenes. It would be funny hearing a princesses light voice then "Bob" in an old, fat guy's voice.

But seriously, I'd say it needs to be there for completion. I don't know what someone's going to do with it, but that's just it.

You could possibly even examine the SoundData returned, and look for specific actions or something (although, that would be hard).

Don't examine the sound data yourself: http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/.
