Could make two audiotracks and have the output of one feeding the input of
the other, then change the speed of the diskstream while recording to the
second audiotrack? or is that what you mean by no direct support.

I would of thought the paintbrush idea wouldn't be that hard to implement in
ardour, just make a new MouseMode and have whatever region is highlighted in
the region list inserted at the frame corresponding to the point at which the
mouse is clicked. But I guess it's more complicated than that. I haven't used
acid since version 1.0 or perhaps 2.0 so I'm not entirely sure how it works.
