[ardour-dev] Multi-audio-disk setup - let's make it work

[David Mulcahy]

Many moons ago ardour had the following in its ardour.rc file

   <Option name="session-path" value="/tape1:/tape2"/>

I think this has something to do with it - but i must admit I have tried and 
failed miserably many times

Hope someone can shed some light onto it.
