inputids are unique, but you can't have two inputs on the same card in
use at the same time.

Unless I misread your patch, it doesn't take into account the earlier
recording might alreay have softend applied or the later recording
might already have softstart applied.  If either of these are the
case, you would be adding more pad than the user requested to one
recording.

No, leave it the way it is in the timedate area.

Because it makes the padding hard instead of soft.  See one of Max'
earlier emails.
