There's no patch. Each time I started on it, someone talked me out of
writing it because there's really not any big benefit to it (especially
when compared to the amount of work/code required).

Conversely, where is the benefit to making the change? The recordings
directory is never intended to viewed directly. Such a change should be
purely cosmetic, cleaning up a folder that should never be accessed
anyway. If you _do_ think you want to access that folder, you should
really be accessing formatted links generated by mythlink.pl.
