I just wonder: Why don't you record in ecasound? I'd say, running MuSE
just for recording could be a bit overkill. And ecasound is a really
useful and stable recording software and also very configurable.

Although with the help of jack-transport it might be possible to do a
sample-exact switching of soundfiles during recording, in this case
I'd probably try to keep a bit of overlap between both files. That is,
you could run two ecasounds and start recording in one, then stop
recording in the other afterwards.
