Well, what I was thinking of probably is not feasible because what I
was looking for is that when I press play button while in a recording
-- and I guess you would have to write the frame to disk to do this
--- then it would say pause. If I am in just the recording screen,
pressing play and not hearing a prompt is not such a big deal to me,
the harder part would be to use the pause/record sequence
effectively. I guess there are always limitations to these things.

The iriver port may be more flexible in that way, I imagine.
