Voice posts?

[popelaksmi]

Has anyone heard anything (or know something I don't know) about DW having voice post capabilities, now or ever?

My understanding is that it would be a nice feature to have sometime down the road. The major problem is that voice posts were implemented after the code fork and the code that does it is proprietary to LJ. So it would have to be rewritten from scratch. For now, there are other priorities. If voice posts are implemented on DW, it probably won't be until after full launch (as opposed to current Open Beta). (Same goes for image galleries, I think.)

On the bright side, if the code is rewritten for DW, there's a chance of having useful things that are entirely missing from LJ's version... a pause button on the playback, for example.

It does not exist now, but I also seem to recall that they'd like it down the road, but no hard plans about it exist yet.

There's probably a better place to discuss this (and denise already answered!) but since you caught my attention... :)

I'm assuming that by voice post you mean the lj-style ones, which are phone calls that show up as a journal entry. I'm curious, though, if you're specifically interested in phoning in posts? Or in audio posts in general? Because there's probably an internet-y way to do that to work with whatever Dreamwidth plans for image hosting and whatnot, someday, that would be easier to implement.
