No that would not work because you would still end up with another pause when it start writing to HD and playback from HD.

The best way to do it would be to write to a memory buffer, playback from buffer could start very quickly as the IO to HD would not slow it down. When the buffer fills the data is sent to the HD. I guess it depends on the HW/SW.

The other thing could be that you have a full HD and the system has to delete something off the HD before it can start writing ? This might slow it down...
