    | 1. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=recording&i=multi-track
    | says that a user can "check the box labeled Play other tracks while
    | recording new one" to play a track while recording a new one on top of
    | it. But it doesn't say that the played track will mix into the new one
    | (a complain in Audacity forum in Russian, I've just tested it and
    | confirm that issues exists).

It shouldn't unless the user has mistakenly set stereo mix or similar option 
on the mixer toolbar dropdown to record what the computer is playing, or
unless he is playing back through speakers, in which case it probably will, as
the microphone will pick up the speakers. (In that case you need to use 
headphones).   


    | 2. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=recording&i=scheduled
    | says: "Sorry, Audacity does not yet support scheduled recording. We
    | may add this feature to a future version of the program." But there is
    | an application called Audacity Remote Controll:
    | http://sourceforge.net/projects/audaremote. Is there any reason we
    | don't mention it as 3rd party solution for WIndows users?

I don't really know of one, at least we could direct them to the Wiki 
page about it where it's mentioned? Someone enquiring on the help list 
a few months ago got very aerated about why we did not mention it. 
The better solution of course is to build a scheduler into Audacity ourselves?
