Hi. I think there may be an easier way...
Run two copies of ardour at once!
Then you can edit, top and tail and export at 16/44.1k from one while 
the other is recording.

To do this, you must start the second Adour with a different name...
ardour -c newdour

I just tried it and it seems to work fine, even on a humble p2 400. 
Thanks to the magic of Jack, they don't fight over who gets to use the 
soundcard.
