[jira] [Commented] (CB-571) Check that audio file recording to using Media.startRecord is of type .wav

["Kerri Shotts (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-571?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13424456#comment-13424456 ] 

Kerri Shotts commented on CB-571:
---------------------------------

Here's my question, based on a recent app that I've been working on: 

Why /must/ the file exist? The Apple documentation indicates pretty clearly that the file will be created if it doesn't already exist.

Requiring the existence of the file really throws a monkey-wrench into creating clean, cross-platform code that records audio, so I would be in favor of removing the "file exists" restriction entirely.

> As we document in {{startRecord}} on our [docs page|http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.6.1/cordova_media_media.md.html#media.startRecord], when recording audio in iOS, you need to make sure the file exists and that it is of type .wav.
> It would be nice if the {{startRecordingAudio}} method in CDVSound.m checked that the requested file to record to is of the right type, and throw an error if it is not.
