Summary: recording countdown needs to go away

Initial Comment:
It needs to go away for MIDI, especially, with the new
endless canvas.  We might want to put it back to audio
only, the way it used to be, or just get rid of the
stupid thing, and get rid of the audio recording limit
too.  I have 208 GB of disk space free after that
upgrade.  Anybody who can afford a computer fast enough
to run Rosegarden and JACK can probably afford at least
a 100 GB hard drive.  Why not just let people record
until they feel like hitting stop?

Is there any really compelling reason to keep an audio
recording limit?  If not, I say let's dump that too,
and get rid of the countdown dialog entirely.

Agreed on MIDI, but I think we do need to keep a countdown  
for audio.  
 
Lots of people who could afford 200+GB drives don't 
actually have them.  Particularly laptop users.  Also we 
should adjust the countdown to take into account the fact 
that .wav files are limited to 32 bits (i.e. 90-odd mins 
per stereo track at 48KHz).
