Actually, I think that's the key Emanuel.  Don't ask when they hit record.  
Ask the first time they arm an audio track, or when they drag an audio file 
onto the composition or they open the audio file manager, and any other cases 
we can think of.  All of these actions mean "I'm intending to do something 
with audio" but they aren't the sort of thing where throwing out a "give this 
a name before you continue" dialog would shatter someone's musical thought 
process.

Incidentally, while we are on the topic of audio features and audio projects, 
have you tried the new project packager I rewrote from scratch?  The .rgp 
format *is* a more or less workable thing, I think.  The new packager is not a 
clone of the original, but rather 100% compatible with old files, using all 
new code and an all new thought process for handling everything.  Now that 
it's integrated real code instead of some tacked on script, it may be worth 
thinking about more ways to integrate it into audio-related plans.
