recording and privacy

Does anyone know of some web resources on legal issues surrounding
audio recording?  Specifically accidentally or intentially recording
human conversations seems to be a sensitive issue.  In my experience
people (OK, western culture people) seem to be more uptight about
audio gear than they do about photography.

Are their US federal laws about this or is it just state by state?  I
know there is a federal wiretap law, but as I understand it that only
applies to law enforcement.
