As very offen, it is not everyone who needs this, but it is a very nice
Feature :)

In fact it happens regularily that one did not hear exactly what was said
and it woul be nice to be able to go a certain amount of time back to hear
it again. Or to start recording from there.

I would like to spend some RAM for that (or buy some if needed).

Actually I don't think it has to "kick in" while zapping - f.ex. it could
start buffering after an amount of time on the same channel - so that it
would not interfere with zapping and making that slower ;)

On disk it is probably much more difficult but it could be done in a way
that it maybe creates smaller files and you could start a new file and
then delete the one before the previous or something like that.
