Scott,

Thanks for your message:

If you think that there is a reason to tell the MUA about the source 
(personally, I don't see what I would do with such a thing), then 
argue for a new header that does that (and get mired in the 
security/trust issues already cited elsewhere), but don't try to 
change the usage of Disposition.

You are absolutly right.  I should try a registration for a new part
header, "Content-source-device:" and use "X-content-source-device:" 
in the mean time.

Does anyone else think there would be value in such a header, even if 
it were incompletely reliable?  

Since this trancends just audio, would VPIM still be an acceptable WG?

Cheers,
James

P.S.  Valdis:  TCP requires its input to be buffered.  You must have 
been thinking of RTP or some other UDP-like destroyer of audio quality.
