New recording idea, a bit crazy

Hello ROCKbox-Community,
please excuse my probably bad english. I'm an Austrian student and I'll do my best.

I know that the last post in this thread is nearly a year old, but there have been some other posts (eg. here) about that topic and I want to ask if some kind of development is going on in this direction.

For me it would be enough if I could listen to one file while recording to another one.

Then it would be cool to have a plugin which can mix multiple tracks and export that as a new audio file. Of course this needn't be in realtime. So you can mix that tracks together that you want to hear via headphones while you are recording. If that mixer has some more options it would also be suitable to create a final mix, but maybe that goes a bit too far...

If it is possible to code just the listening-while-recording thing, that would be a great step.

As far as understand there is also a Feature Request in the tracker, which requests the same thing, but it did'n get much attention till now.

What do you expect out of these devices? They really aren't engineered for this sort of use. I'm against introducing any such functionality in the core but anything the core recording uses (the very same API in fact) is available to a plugin intended to do exotic things.

Some have said they can't get recording to function in a plugin so I simply recommend they imitate pcm_record.c to the letter - no shortcuts because they assume some function call isn't nescessary - they all are. Use the API as intended and it will work. It is verified to work.

EDIT - I'll mention here too that full-duplex sound on ColdFire based devices is also verified to work. I've handed out the effects plugins (simple proofs of concept) source codes to those who have asked on several occasions.
