Thanks, Paul. To give you a starting point I have attached a modified part of 
audio_diskstream.cc from 2.8.11 that actually seems to fix my problems. It 
seems to work even for punch in/out. The changes are based on looking at 2.8.6 
and pure luck :-). It may break something else, but it works for me.
