Are you sure you need to control the recording levels as tightly as you
think?  On, say, a cassette tape, "too quiet" means not only that you
have to turn the gain up to hear it, but also that when you do, you
hear a lot of hiss.  Serious recordists will gasp at this, but you may
find with digital recording that you can just set a level that is never
too high and then normalize everything that is "too quiet" and still get
the quality you need.

There are also some bits of software that might be well suited to your
application.  Loop Recorder (www.looprecorder.de), for example, can
just run all the time:  you don't even need to "hit record."  With that
and a one-size recording level, you might not have to think about
controlling the recorder at all.

Unless one of your requirements is no postprocessing.  Do you need to
have a finished product right away, or can somebody come later and, at
a minimum, trim and normalize?
