i don't know how often i requested that "ring buffer always on recording"
feature. but i wasn't heard.

i don't think that recording on harddisk all the time is the way to go. put
128 or 256 mb in your machine and you have at least time for a 60s playback
buffer that will be deleted (and/or freshly filled) with every channel
switch. that shouldn't make channel hopping any slower (because it's all in
memory only)

maybe if enough ppl now reply to that mail and say they want it as well kls
will give it a higher priority ;) (that doesn't mean we want to put any
pressure on you klaus - you know i wouldn't dare *g*).

servus hannes!
