Hi Florian, Looks awesome, I think it would be a great addition to matterhorn. I think [email protected] is the best address (devs).
The most important question is going to be how to integrate - if it's as easy as apt-get install auphonic then making some REST calls great. If licensing or hosted solutions are required then things get muddier. We're all Java, but integrating with python through CURL calls would be fine (as shown in your FAQ).
