For information: ICSI Multiwav feature has already been integrated
into mainstream Transcriber after slight adaptation (allowing to
switch between several synchronized audio files), but not
the Multi-Channel transcription feature (which allows to
manage several layers of synchronized transcriptions).

BTW, I believe ICSI is also intending to build new tools specific
for meeting data management.
