Hmpfh, well, as I have been trying to point out some times already,

timemachine is a program for capturing what you might have thought you

could use, while programs such as ardour, jackrec or jack_capture are

programs for capturing what are sure you want to use. timemachine is

great, but it doesn't seem to me like anyone understand its purpose(!)...

(timemachine captures x time of sound before pressing record, a great

idea, but its for a little bit different purpose than this).
So, to my point, which (of course) was mostly to promote my own program:

Use jack_capture, http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src . It does exactly what

you want, and as simple as possible.
