Well, this is interesting<grin>...

If I define the filename with the space at the beginning, I can record. 
(if the space isn't there, then it runs the filename together with the
audio device name - sox tries to record from
"/dev/dsp/home/w9wi/arrldxssb2005/f1.au" )  

However, then I can't play back..  TLF puts up a message at the bottom
left of the screen saying it can't find the file.  If I remove the space
in the rules file, I can play back.  I suppose it's literally passing
the space to the function that opens the file.  

(however, there's something else going on as as soon as the message
finishes playing, TLF exits with a segmentation fault)

Will try some more tweaking to audio.c but doubt I'll have the knowledge
to deal with the segfault.
