Interesting. We use Audacity on our Riv machines to do quick edits but have not used it for critical recording mainly because I wasn't sure how clean and professional it would be and because we would need to install a second high quality sound card for recording. When editing, we play back over the MB sound or a simple sound card. I guess if we don't care about clean balanced inputs we could use a regular card. It's just simpler for the operator to record into the Riv playout when he is doing a live interview but I can rearrange things and no, pause in that case isn't super critical.
