This sounds good. Is there a risk that running it while recording will
chew up CPU and impair the quality of the recording, though? It might
be good option (for those of us with CPU hungry BT8x8 cards) to allow
the user to choose whether to wait until the end of the recording or
not.

PS - the new commercial detection in 0.17 is awesone. It didn't work
in Australia (free to air) very well at all before - now it's amazing!
Thanks.
