The obvious approach is to create a cart with a single cut in it (To hold the audio), together with a couple of macro carts.
GPI contact closure fires a macro which starts recording the audio to the audio cart, waits say 5 seconds then inserts the cart as the next item in the log and puts a big flashing warning up in the message field. Another GPO event stops the recording, and the play while record capability makes sure everything works. This way the alert gets recorded automatically and added to the log at the next convenient point (Giving it a hard start maybe 5 minutes in the future would be a nice touch).
