Not quite none.

Your famous FOSS4G 2009 speech was captured on a handheld, and was our 
fallback because the main recording didn't work:

I've personally had friends record a few of my presentations. Eg:

I acknowledge that it is not done often, but it would be relatively easy 
to set up (and is a very viable option for a shoe-string budget regional 
or local foss4g event).
