Dear Fred, thanks for the interest in ownCloud.
Yes, a podcatcher app for ownCloud is one of the future ideas. It's already mentioned here: http://owncloud.org/dev/junior-jobs/ And I also mentioned it in my proposal, see http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/cosenal/1 Right now I am thinking of just marking with an attachment-like icon posts that contains an audio/video enclosure, such as podcasts. It's hard to say yet in which part of the two apps (feed reader and podcatcher) intersect, I would guess that definitely in the parsing part. Moreover, I am not sure that the podcatcher should be a separate app from the Music app. Anyway, I am cc'ing this answer and your email to the owncloud ml, so that we avoid having people working independently on the same things.
