[G4] Wiretap scripting

Gee- I'd like to see this too.   Many times I'd like to record a 
streaming audio session but I don't want to stick around to turn 
WireTap off.

My needs aren't quite as complex as Lavode's. It's be cool to have a 
script that I could run after starting a Wiretap recording that would 
time out and close down Wiretap after recording for the selected amount 
of time.

I have done no scripting myself and I'm not sure if even this is 
possible to do. Is it? Where might I find an example to work from.?

Thanks,
John
