[kmix] [Bug 421495] New: Feature request: push-to-talk (PTT) for recording streams/microphones

Bug ID: 421495
   Summary: Feature request: push-to-talk (PTT) for recording
streams/microphones
   Product: kmix
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: wishlist
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: es...@kde.org
  Reporter: mahar...@mahartma.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
While using different kinds of video/audio conferencing software every day I
realized the need of a push-to-talk (PTT) shortcut for muting and unmuting
recording streams, or more specific, microphones. Since not every conferencing
software supports configuring PTT, it might be a great feature for KDE.

Adding PTT could be accomplished by enabling users to set global push-to-talk
options and a global shortcut and then activate PTT for specific recording
streams.

Potential options for PTT could be (imspired by mumble):
- DoublePush Time: If you press the PTT shortcut twice in this period of time,
push-to-talk will be "locked" and the microphone active until you press the
shortcut once again, to mute the microphone
- Hold Time: The time the microphone stays activated after releasing the
shortcut, to avoid that words could be cut off when releasing the key too early

This feature could also enhance security because PTT is not controlled by
conferencing software itself, but on OS level.
