Recording Into Buffer (Without Specifying Buffer Size)

Hey everybody.

The topic title says it all really! I'm writing a patch that allows users to record into a buffer, starting with a toggle on, and ending with a toggle off. This all works fine when specifying the buffer size (buffer myrec~ 10000) but this only allows a limited duration to be recorded.

Initiating the buffer with no duration means that when I record, there is no audio that actually gets recorded into the buffer.

Can anybody help?
