I am currently developing a module for the audio module to enable RTMP streaming and FFMPEG encoding.

I am wondering what the best approach is to run the scp command (like flash video) when an audio node is added (to add the file to an RTMP server)? Can I use hook_form_alter to run this command? I am looking through the Drupal API at the moment. I also want to run an ffmpeg command as well when the node is added to encode the media for storage on the rtmp server.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
