Are there any reasons to use this over ttyrec or termrec?  It seems to me
asciinema is strictly worse than:
ttyrec tmpfile && POST <tmpfile http://asciinema's_url

* you can't do things locally
* there's only a recorder, without a player (you need to use a web service
  to replay)
* it's slow: takes around 2 seconds at the start and end
* can't be used from scripts (to eg, record everything)
* can't be used to pipe the output, etc (for termcast)
* can't edit the recording
