Yes, effects like repeat and reverse need to store the incoming audio  
somewhere for later use. Whether that's a problem or not depends on  
the file size and memory constraints, of course. There are  
disadvantages with the "concatenate files" approach, too; e.g., it  
can't be used (in constrast to the repeat effect) for data from a  
pipe, or recorded directly from the sound card.
