Alex,

I think you're asking how to record an audio clip directly into the 
stack. You can't currently do that with the record sound command-- that 
only lets you record to an external file. However, you could do it in a 
few steps:

	record sound command to record to an external file
	import command to import the file as an audio clip
	delete file command to delete the (now) unwanted external file.

Kind of kludgy, but should work.
