John We have no experience of providing a tool like the one you describe, but I'd guess that AGI using sox/soxmix to edit recorded files should be able to get you where you want.
The Trim options of soxmix provides the ability to, for example, take the first x.y seconds of a recorded file so that you can splice a file in accordance with a users instructions. A second or any subsequent part of the recording can then be made and concatenated to the first. We use sox and soxmix in similar ways to allow some of our voice recordings to be replaced.

One more issue for you - we are trying to build a custom voicemail application and so far everything works great by using AGI to play prompts, get input and record files. However one of our customers has asked for some pretty advanced functionality, specifically the ability to: * stop in the middle of recording (so far so good, escape character) * fast forward/rewind the recording as it is so far (!) * overdub (i.e. rerecord) starting from a desired point in the existing sound file (!!!) So, it's pretty clear that AGI's "RECORD FILE" function as it stands is not going to cut it, so I'm assuming that do anything like this means writing a new custom app_something.c, does that sound right? Anybody have any tips or comments on how ridiculously difficult this might be?
