I don't believe that actually recording the individual streams would be a huge problem.  As various posters have pointed out, there are any number of pieces of software that will do this.  It seems to me that the issue is that Myth is not so much a piece of software as a complete system.  For example, it would be necessary to figure out how such a change would effect the conflict resolution code in the scheduler.

It remains an attractive proposition,  but as another poster pointed out,  extra cards are easy to fit.
