Until I get off my butt and finish that patch, there's the interim
solution I posted a few years ago.  I haven't tried this on recent
SVN trunk or -fixes, but it appears I coded it so that it would work
with updated databases.

If someone starts using this and it works good, please reply to this
thread.  It may make sense to put a version of this into the contrib
dir and update it when I do complete the above-mentioned patch to
allow multiple files per recording.
