Further subscriptions could be added/removed via 'rtpengine-ctl ksadd/ksrm'.

The HEP protocol used by Homer contains a "capture ID" used to distinguish different sources
of capture data. This ID can be specified using this argument.
* --recording-dir
An optional argument to specify a path to a directory where PCAP recording
files and recording metadata files should be stored. If not specified, the the
rtpengine will default to placing recorded files in `/var/spool/rtpengine/` if
it exists. PCAP files will be stored within a "pcap" subdirectory and metadata
within a "metadata" subdirectory.
The format for a metadata file is (with a trailing newline):
/path/to/rec-pcap01.pcap
/path/to/rec-pcap02.pcap
...
/path/to/rec-pcap0n.pcap
start timestamp (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss)
end timestamp (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss)
generic metadata
Metadata files will appear in the subdirectory when the call completes.
PCAP files will be written to the subdirectory as the call is being recorded.
A typical command line (enabling both UDP and NG protocols) thus may look like:

Negates the respective option. This is useful if one of the session parameters was offered by
an SDES endpoint, but it should not be offered on the far side if this endpoint also speaks SDES.
* `record-call`
Contains either the string "yes" or the string "no". This tells the rtpengine
whether or not to record the call to PCAP files. If the call is recorded, it
will generate PCAP files for each stream and a metadata file for each call.
See the `--recording-dir` option above.
Note that this is not a duplication of the `start_recording` message. If calls
are being kernelized, then they cannot be recorded. The `start_recording`
message does not have a way to prevent a call from being kernelized, so we need
to use this flag when we send an `offer` or `answer` message.
* `metadata`
This is a generic metadata string. The metadata will be written to the bottom of
metadata files within `/path/to/recording_dir/metadata/`. This can be used to
record additional information about recorded calls. `metadata` values passed in
through subsequent messages will overwrite previous metadata values.
See the `--recording-dir` option above.
An example of a complete `offer` request dictionary could be (SDP body abbreviated):
