No need to record on the spot.What we are aiming for is quality of sound though. Audio / Video chat clients are all programmed so that a loss of information over the Internet is largely ignored (for performance reasons). If we used video, that loss would be amplified, and would indirectly affect the sound.
I don't see the need for recording a video if we are only going to extract the sound anyway. It seems like one step too far...why not just record the audio on its own?
Of course, I'm not an expert on matters like this, but I can't see a reason why you'd think recording a video over the Internet (massive amounts of data) and then extracting the audio would be better than simply recording the audio...
