There was an article on Audacity's disk paging system in the summer 2002 
issue of the Computer Music Journal 
(http://mitpress2.mit.edu/e-journals/Computer-Music-Journal/Documents/Contents/html/fr-26-2.html); 
unfortunately only an abstract is available online.   [I did glimpse at 
it in a library last week, but not long enough to really grok the 
explanations of how it works.]
