I finally got my MIDI keyboard back up, and had a good whack at G's new spooty 
auto-expanding canvas.  Some comments...

* the progress dialog is probably redundant, and since it also causes focus 
problems as to what the space bar does (depending on whether the coundown 
dialog or the transport or the main window has focus), we might just dump it.  
(Although the "recording past end" thing was an appropriate thing to do under 
the circumstances.)

Do we still need an "audio remaining" kind of thing as the dialog was 
originally conceived to provide?  I hacked it to *also* report about MIDI as 
a stopgap way to remind people about the brick wall, but we can almost 
certainly un-hack that, and might could just abolish the audio limit 
entirely.  Does anybody really want or need some annoying arbitrary, 
artificially-imposed limit on their audio recording?  When Rich came up with 
that, it was like 2001 or so, and a 40 GB hard drive was pretty big.  I just 
bought a 300 GB drive for less than I paid for a 40 GB a few years ago.  
OTOH, a lot of our users are using crappy old computers with 10 GB drives on 
their PII-233 with 16 K of RAM [sic], because Linux is good on crappy old 
computers, and/or they live in countries where they can't afford anything 
better on $300 a month to feed a family of four.

* I noticed some weird with punch in/punch out.  I punched in/out about five 
times, and then somewhere around bar...  Hrm...

It looks like it jumps by 5-10 bars ahead when you pass the end.  In this 
window, you can be punched out, and then punch back in, and keep going, but 
if you miss your window, it stops.  This is a little weird, but I'm not at 
all convinced there's anything actually worth complaining about.

All in all, this auto-expanding thing
