You need "double buffering" and the use of DMA's.  With the use of them,
you're only limited by your hard drive space. I've created
1 VOC file 10 meg big (5 min @32000 sample, I think).
I'll try to put the routines together and post them here.
Another nice thing about DMA's (direct memory access) is
the fact that it will play (or record) in the background,
allowing your program to do other tasks.
