It's a handy feature for, say, recording off of NASA TV. I just had Gold 
Wave record in response to a certain threshold, told it to stop after a 
second of silence, and told it to start recording half a second before the 
threshold was crossed. What resulted was a nice tight, but not 
choppy-sounding recording of the shuttle launch.
