   Um, not for the analysis I had in mind. For that you would want studio-
quality mikes and tape, if not better. I had no idea what the nature 
of the conference was; it might have had such things ready.  Actually you 
could probably do some analysis from a record made on a fast computer using
a decent mike attached to a decent sound-card and some program like 
Audio-Grabber.
