+Welcome to Oreka, an open media capture and retrieval platform
+
+Copyright (C) 2005, orecx LLC http://www.orecx.com
+
+This program is free software, distributed under the terms of
+the GNU General Public License.
+
+This package is a binary distribution of the oreka audio recording service. Source code and documentation can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/oreka/
+
+--------
+Features
+
+* VoIP recording capability by sniffing on a network device (default configuration)
+* Works as well on a dedicated server for LAN-wide recording as on an individual PC for personal VoIP recording
+* Audio device recording (by default, records all devices in the system) using the Sound Device plugin
+* Generates calls details records with local party, remote party and call direction.
+
+The VoIP plugin supports the following protocols:
+ - Bidirectional SIP sessions recording with SIP metadata extraction
+ - Bidirectional Cisco skinny (aka SCCP) session recording with Skinny metadata extraction
+ - Bidirectional Raw RTP session recording with limited metadata extraction (when SIP and Skinny both fail - e.g for H.323)
+
+-------------
+Running orkaudio
+
+* run the daemon:
+
+root@myhost:/ # orkaudio
+
+* Or run attached to tty:
+
+root@myhost:/ # orkaudio debug
+
+-------------
+Files location
+
+* Configuration files are in /etc/orkaudio
+* Logging output is in /var/log/orkaudio/orkaudio.log
+* Captured audio files are in /var/log/orkaudio/[year]/[month]/[day]/[hour]
+* Call details records can be found in /var/log/orkaudio/tapelist.log
+
+--------------
+Capturing from the right network device
+
+If the software does not seem to produce any audio output, you might be monitoring from the wrong network device. edit /var/log/orkaudio/orkaudio.log and try to locate lines similar to the following:
+
+....
+2005-11-21 21:57:14,253 INFO packet:479 - Available pcap devices:
+2005-11-21 21:57:14,254 INFO packet:483 - * eth0
+2005-11-21 21:57:14,254 INFO packet:483 - * Pseudo-device that captures on all interfaces any
+2005-11-21 21:57:14,255 INFO packet:483 - * lo
+
+....
+
+Pick the device you want to monitor, e.g. eth0 and paste this into the orkaudio configuration file (/etc/orkaudio/config.xml) so that it looks like the following:
+
+....
+<Device>eth0</Device>
+....
+
+--------------
+Where to tap ?
+
+* If you record from a single PC, no need to worry, just install the software
+* For VoIP recording on an entire LAN, you need to tap an ethernet link carrying all
+the voice traffic you want to monitor. There are three methods:
+1. Ehternet tap
+2. Ethernet Hub
+3. Switch SPAN port
+For more info on those options, see:
