wait for ten seconds here, and see if it still happens (see below).

Could this be due to the 'timemashine'-feature of timemashine? When

started up, it buffers (default) ten seconds of what arrives at its

input, as soon as the record button is hit it adds the ten seconds to

the recording. I'm just wondering whether timemashine just records you

manually doing the connections.
just to be sure.
