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.
