It would be nice if the recorder plugin would have a 'timemachine' mode (http://plugin.org.uk/timemachine/).
It would be accomplished by having a circular buffer of data acquired as soon as the plugin is enabled, even if the record button is not pressed. When the record button is pressed the data is dumped to disk at the normal stream rate until stop is pressed, which would write all the buffer up to the current time ( but not empty it, so it'd keep the buffer filled with n-seconds of the past ).
Possibly the buffer size ( in seconds ) should be configurable by the user ( something between 10-30s would be a good default ).
