That's good to read there will be facilities to record sound from microphone 
(I think/hope the "Webcam capture" also includes microphone only input).
It would be handy for note taking applications to attach recorded audio 
notes/messages/remembers.

Will the captured audio be saved to standard format like OGG or MP3, or in 
raw/wav format like KRecord (which is nearly useless if every audio note take 
several Mb)?

And last question, will there be ways to cut such audio note.
Cut the X first minutes, or the Y last seconds would be sufficient.
Imagine an audio remember for a shoplist, and we bought the last ingredient, 
cutting the last Y seconds would erase it from the shoplist.

Best regards,
