Do you think it is possible to record a mediasoup stream with some bash script and ffmpeg ?  
(without having to write some node server side script)

(similar solution to broadcast script you provide here: [mediasoup-demo/ffmpeg.sh at v3 · versatica/mediasoup-demo · GitHub](https://github.com/versatica/mediasoup-demo/blob/v3/broadcasters/ffmpeg.sh))

I don’t need anyone to provide me that script in case this is possible, I just need an answer like yes/no so I can dive further and try to achieve that.

Regards

Yes it’s possible.

Before doing it in node, I was testing out recording using bash scripts and FFmpeg/GStreamer.
