Hmmm. Don't know how I've missed that.

As long as you're reading this thread, Isaac, a quick question -- how does 
Myth handle allocating "live" buffer filespace? Does it check at the outset 
to verify that there is enough space on the filesystem for the specified 
buffer size (and even reserve it, perhaps), or does it just proceed on the 
assumption that it will not run out of available space before hitting the 
specified maximum buffer size? In whichever case applies, how does it 
respond if it cannot get buffer space it needs?
