Actually, I realized what's happening. The headers/index gets corrected
at the end of the recording. However, I scheduled a 1/2hr show and it is
still recording a half-hour later. For some reason the recording server
is not telling mencoder to stop recording.
Any suggestions as to where to fix this?

Using btaudio and /dev/dsp2 works like a champ :)
