Audio/Video & Sermon Podcasts
=========================

I needs some advice/insight into which solution if any we need for embedding multimedia easily in pages and news items/blog posts.  Separately or inclusive for how we are handling Sermons and having a Podcast RSS feed.  There seem to be a lot of options - but its tough to sort through vs. know what comes included by default now with a 2.x install.

Sermon / audio Plugin Multiple Options
