Recording device for libmapper.

mapperRec

This is a small libmapper program that creates a monitor and checks if there are any interesting signals on the network. When it finds one, it creates a corresponding signal on its device, and requests a direct mapping. It then records any received information to one of several back-ends.

The back-ends currently implemented are:

• A text file writer.
• A binary file writer.
• A writer that forwards the data to Andy Schemder's OSCStreamDB, which writes it to a Postgresql database.

Currently, "interesting signals" are defined as any output signal that matches a given device name. So it can be used to record all output signals of a device. In the future this might be better defined using a more complex matching strategy, a command line, or a GUI-based selection.

Recording to SDIF/GDIF would be a nice enhancement too.
