But since the overlap would normally be relatively short it shouldn't be a problem to keep one file per recording and simply send the output to both files for the duration of the overlap. You'd waste a bit of disk space, but so what? Then the difficult development work would just be the scheduler changes, and the Multirec capability that's just been added is very similar in requirements so I think there is some hope this will get implemented.
