Two Octoshape FYI's:

1) When you install Octoshape you become a node, so it will use your
internet connection to relay streams to other people.  I've had it swamp
my internet connection with 1M/s of upload bandwidth.  This is pretty
annoying in my opinion, especially because they don't tell you this in
advance and don't seem to give you any way of limiting it.

2) As a result of this, the streams get passed around a lot and you
could be hearing/seeing (it does video too) the stream on a major delay,
as much as 30 seconds to a minute.  This makes it very difficult to,
say, listen to the stream in two rooms at once, as they can be very far
off of each other.
