There's a framework in place that can be used as a basis for creating a 
capability for overlapping back-to-back analog recordings, but no one 
has yet written the code (and, as digital capture becomes more common, 
fewer and fewer people are likely to be interested in doing so).

If you're interested in working on it, you should talk with Daniel K., 
Shane, and/or Janne.
